Questions

Can I make Poached Eggs in Yogurt dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 2 cups Greek yogurt, 3 tbsp unsalted butter. Swap the yogurt for an unsweetened coconut or soy yogurt; the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Poached Eggs in Yogurt keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Poached Eggs in Yogurt?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
