Inspired by cilbir, Turkish poached eggs on a bed of creamy yogurt, this dish is a garlic lover’s dream. Typically, raw garlic is grated directly into the yogurt, but in this version we fry thinly sliced garlic in the spiced brown butter that gets drizzled over the entire dish. The resulting crunchy, golden brown garlic chips and the crisped-up torn bread lend textural balance to the soft eggs. Use the bread to sop up every last bit of runny yolk and creamy yogurt—it’s your side of toast built right in! —Mehreen Karim
