    I have a perfect summer dish for you today! This Tomato Zucchini with basil pesto on thick Greek yogurt with a couple jammy eggs is refreshing, with a mix of sweet and savory flavors. The summer savory yogurt bowl looks so vibrant, and we enjoyed it with a few slices of sourdough bread. Absolutely delicious!

    Savory Yogurt Bowl

    What is Savory Yogurt Bowl

    I love any kind of yogurt based dish, especially during peak summer days. Jammy eggs with tomatoes on thick Greek yogurt is one of my go-to busy or lazy day meal.

    Currently, our refrigerator is crowded with zucchini from our garden and lots of pretty orange and red cherry tomatoes, also from our garden.

    So every other days I am trying to make the best use of these summer produces. The cherry tomatoes are so sweet that I had to try Spaghetti al Pomodoro Crudo

    Last night, dinner was this Tomato Zucchini and Basil Pesto with jammy eggs on thick cold yogurt.

    Savory Yogurt Bowl

    Ingredients you need for the Savory Yogurt Bowl

    Cherry tomatoes - I would recommend using only cherry tomatoes as these are sweeter and cooks faster without releasing too much water.

    Zucchini - If you can't find zucchini, use eggplant instead. Both zucchini and eggplant works beautifully with yogurt on this dish.

    Pesto - My basil plant needed some trimming and so that went in too. You can use any greens to make this pesto and if you want to skip pesto completely, you can do that too. LINK TO PESTO RECIPE

    Jammy Eggs - Jammy Eggs with yogurt is a treat for me. I absolutely love the combo! The creamy yolks add a mild richness when mixed with the cold yogurt.

    Garlic - I cooked the cherry tomatoes and zucchini with some garlic, salt and pepper.

    With these few basic ingredients, the dish comes together wonderfully, and it seriously can't get any simpler than this!

    Can I use big tomatoes instead?

    If you absolutely have to use big tomatoes, slice the tomato small and if the tomato is not too firm, then remove the seeds.

    Cherry tomatoes have less water contents and so as you stir fry these with zucchini and garlic, it doesn't get too mushy.

    Steps to prepare

    Start by making the pesto, if you are using it.

    Next, cook the cherry tomatoes with zucchini and garlic in a heavy bottom skillet. Season properly and if you like heat, you can add some chili flakes too.

    While that cook, prepare Jammy Eggs. I cook the eggs for 4 minutes to get the jammy like yolk texture.

    Finally, whisk the yogurt in a serving bowl. Drizzle pesto on top and layer the cooked tomato and zucchini. Add the jammy eggs and don't forget freshly grated black pepper on top.

    Enjoy as a dip with crackers or as a meal with a few slices of bread on the side. It will be great even with pita bread.

    I truly hope you will give this dish a try because it's absolutely delicious, so refreshing and if you enjoy these summer vegetables than this Summer Savory Yogurt Bowl will become your go-to meal.

      Well this is quite different. Have never heard of a savory yogurt bowl. I love that you used fresh garden vegetables, something that we have an abundance of right now. I don't have zucchini but I do have yellow squash and large tomatoes as well as lots of basil for pesto. Looks like a really healthy and delicious Meatless Monday meal. Thanks!
