Method

  1. Season 1 cup of plain whole-milk Greek yogurt with kosher salt and mix well. Set it aside for serving.

  2. In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Arrange 2½ cups of bite-size pieces of country-style bread in the skillet and cook without disturbing until they turn golden and crispy, which takes about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally and continue cooking until the bread is crispy on all sides, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the bread to a plate.

  3. Fill a medium saucepan about three-quarters full with water and bring it to a gentle simmer.

  4. In the meantime, crack one of the four large eggs (at room temperature) into a fine-mesh sieve placed over a small bowl. Let the liquid part of the egg white drain off. This step helps eliminate the strands of egg white that can form when the egg is added to the hot water. Transfer the egg to another small bowl. Repeat this process with another egg.

  5. Carefully slide each egg into the simmering water in the saucepan. Stir occasionally and swirl the eggs around in the pan. Cook until the egg whites become opaque and set, but the yolks are still runny, which takes about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the poached eggs to another plate. Repeat this process with the remaining two eggs.

  6. Rinse and wipe out the sauce
