Poached Eggs in Sumac Chilli Butter
Sumac is a zingy lemon flavoured spice used in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. Mixed with butter and poured over eggs is a velvety tangy bowl-licking experience.

Ingredients
Scale
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 tsp dried chilli flakes
- 1 tsp sumac
- Flatbreads for serving (homemade flatbread recipe here)
Instructions
- For the poached eggs: Using a large saucepan, fill with water and add salt. Bring to the boil then lower the heat until the water is barely moving. Crack eggs individually into 2 ramekins or small bowls, then lower as close to the surface of the water as you can and quickly drop eggs in. Poach for 2 – 3 minutes or until whites are firm. The inside should still be runny.
- Combine butter, garlic, chilli flakes and sumac in a saucepan, gently heat until the butter has melted and becomes clear (there should be no creamy texture. The sumac will separate and look like dark flakes.)
- Drizzle sumac butter over eggs and serve with pita bread or homemade flatbreads (recipe below).
