To poach the eggs, bring a small pot of water to the boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and add a shot of white vinegar.
Break the eggs into a coffee cup and carefully but quickly slide them into the water.
Poach for about three-and-a-half minutes and remove with a slotted spoon. Drain and slide them onto the yoghurt.
