Here are some tips for making soft-boiled eggs with greek yogurt

1. Use fresh and high-quality ingredients, especially the eggs, which are the star of this dish.
2. Be sure to follow the cooking time for the soft-boiled eggs, which is typically around 6-7 minutes. This will ensure that the yolks are still runny while the whites are just set.
3. While boiling the eggs, add a pinch of salt to the water to help with the peeling process.
4. Don’t skip the step of mixing the yogurt and tahini together, as this creates a creamy and tangy base for the eggs.
5. To add some heat, you can sprinkle some red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper on top of the eggs.
6. If you don’t have tahini on hand, you could substitute it with almond butter or another nut butter.
7. Serve the eggs with some keto-friendly bread or pita for a more substantial breakfast.
8. You can also garnish the dish with some fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, for added flavor and color.
