Tips

A small touch of honey helps balance the tartness of the Greek yogurt.
Using a strainer for the eggs helps remove loose white, leading to a cleaner poached egg.
Stirring the water to create a vortex helps the egg stay intact while poaching.
You can serve with sunny side up eggs as an easier alternative.
