Let’s get cracking! The simple eggs and toast will never be the same after you’ve tried sesame-fried eggs on tahini-yoghurt.
Crispy, golden sesame-fried eggs meet a creamy tahini-yoghurt base in this delicious dish. The eggs are fried in a sizzling mix of butter and sesame seeds, creating lacy, crunchy edges, while the rich and tangy tahini-yoghurt offers the perfect contrast. A sprinkle of chilli flakes or fresh herbs adds a final burst of flavour.
Enjoy this as a quick breakfast or a light lunch.
