Method
1 Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower in the eggs and cook for 6½-7 minutes for jammy centres or 8 minutes for fully set. Transfer immediately to ice water to cool, then peel and halve.
2 To make the chilli butter, heat butter in a pan until foaming. Add chilli flakes, smoked paprika and a pinch of salt. Remove from heat and set aside.
3 In a bowl, combine Greek yoghurt, garlic, herbs and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4 Spread the herbed yoghurt onto a serving platter. Arrange halved eggs on top and nestle smoked salmon around them.
5 Drizzle over the warm chilli butter and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with toasted sourdough on the side.
