Creamy Greek yogurt, jammy eggs, fresh chives, whole-grain mustard, and lemon combine to create a protein-rich breakfast that is ready in minutes. The tangy egg mixture pairs perfectly with crisp, toasted sourdough for a creamy, flavorful, and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 1 thick slice artisan sourdough bread, about 1 inch thick
• 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives, plus additional for garnish
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)

Instructions

1. Fill a small saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
2. Carefully lower the cold eggs into the boiling water with a spoon. Cook for 6 1/2 minutes for soft, jammy yolks or 7 minutes for slightly firmer yolks.
3. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice-water bath and let stand for 5 minutes to stop the cooking.
4. While the eggs cool, lightly brush the sourdough with the olive oil, if using. Toast until deeply golden and crisp.
5. Peel the eggs and place them in a small bowl. Coarsely chop the eggs, then gently mash a portion with a fork, leaving plenty of larger pieces for texture.
6. Add the Greek yogurt, whole-grain mustard, lemon juice, chives, kosher salt, and black pepper.
7. Fold gently until just combined.
8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed.
9. Spoon the egg mixture evenly over the toasted sourdough.
10. Garnish with additional chives, flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

Cook’s Notes

• Cooking the eggs for 6 1/2 minutes produces soft, jammy yolks. Cook them for 7 minutes for slightly firmer yolks.
• Full-fat Greek yogurt produces the creamiest texture, while low-fat Greek yogurt offers a lighter option.
• Whole-grain mustard provides texture and a mild tang. Dijon mustard may be substituted for a smoother flavor.
• Freshly squeezed lemon juice provides a brighter flavor than bottled lemon juice.
• Toast the bread until deeply golden so it remains crisp beneath the creamy topping.
• Serve immediately after assembling to prevent the toast from becoming soft.
• For additional protein, top with smoked salmon, sliced turkey breast, cottage cheese, or an additional egg.
