Instructions
1. Make Crispy Rice: add a sliver butter or oil into the skillet. Add your rice. Toss rice lightly & then press down flat along the bottom of the pan like a rice pancake. We are going to cook this on medium heat 8 minutes or so until the brown rice is crispy and golden on the bottom. Do not stir. Instead, use a spatula or spoon to occasionally press the rice flat while it cooks.
2. Make tzatziki: In the meantime, make tzatziki. In a small bowl, add 5oz Nounós Plain Yogurt, 2tbs minced dill, 1/4 cup grated cucumber (packed), salt, pepper, & lemon. Stir. Taste. Add more of whatever you want until it's perfect!
3. Make Chili Butter: In another small skillet, make chili butter. Add 3tbs unsalted butter, 1/4 tsp smoked paprika, red pepper flake, cayenne to skillet on medium heat. Melt butter and heat until bubbly/foamy, orange in color and fragrant. Stir occasionally. This will bloom your spices. Pour into small bowl or dish and set aside. Keep skillet off the heat & do not clean it off. Finally, fry your eggs in buttery spices.
4. Finally, using same pan, fry eggs. Add extra sliver of butter or splash oil to the skillet. Heat for 1 minute. Crack both eggs into the pan. Fry until whites are firm, & flip. Cook to desired doneness (but I like mine extra runny)
5. Assemble: put tzatziki on the bottom of bowl & top with both eggs. Add crispy rice in the bowl. Drizzle everything with chili butter. Add fresh herbs or cucumber slices if you’d like, maybe a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.
Notes
● Chili butter: feel free to use regular paprika. Any chili flake will do, traditionally it is Aleppo Pepper. If you have Aleppo pepper it is a lovely addition.
● Make the eggs however you want! Traditionally they are poached, but that’s not a requirement!
