I like breakfast foods, so every weekend we try to make something yummy at least one morning. I first tried this recipe for Fried Egg with Sage, Chilli, and Garlicky Yoghurt a few months ago, and it became an instant favorite. The title doesn’t quite do it justice, I don’t think, and might sound a little odd, but trust us on this one, it’s amazing. It’s good, and it’s good value for brunchy-type breakfast foods at $1.12 per serving.
I’m getting pretty hungry just looking at this photo, to be honest.
It’s pretty simple and straightforward. First, make your garlicky yogurt by mixing some chopped garlic, olive oil and salt into the yogurt. Be sure to use Greek yogurt — if you try it with plain “normal” yogurt, it won’t be too good. If you use fat-free normal yogurt, it’ll be kinda gross (as I’ve found out). And take care with the amount of garlic, especially if you plan to be interacting with anybody later in the day! Then put the butter in a pan, and once it heats up, toss in your sage leaves (I like to use a few more than called for in the recipe), and fry them for a few minutes. They should get nice and crispy, and you’ll infuse the butter with their flavor. Meanwhile, slice your chiles. We usually use Fresno peppers (sometimes called red jalape?±os), but you can use whatever you have on hand or can find, or even just some hot sauce in a pinch.
Once your sage is fried, pour off the sage-infused butter into a bowl, then start frying your eggs in the same pan so they’ll pick up some of the flavor, too. Once they’re done, put some of the garlicky yogurt on your plate, then lay the eggs on top, and sprinkle over some of the sage butter and chiles. Put more of the yogurt on the side, because you’ll want more of it. Serve with some toast, and top it with any leftover sage butter.
I often have a problem with yogurt, it’s something with the texture that bothers me, but I have no problem with this dish. The garlicky yogurt tastes great, and in combo with the chiles and sage, it’s heavenly. This dish is really quick and easy to make, as well, and I’d gladly serve it to guests. With lots of breath mints for dessert 
I made this for dinner tonight. Absolutely delicious. This will definitely be in our rotation because it was so easy in addition to being so tasty. My daughter will be a year old next week, and she LOVED it! We’re trying to make her an adventurous eater.
Awesome, glad you all liked it! It’s definitely one of our favorites.
