Directions
For the tzatziki: combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Season to taste.
Spread the tzatziki on two serving plates and top with the eggs.
In a medium bowl, combine the tomato, cucumber, chile flakes, radishes, poppy seeds, fresh herbs, and buttermilk. Season with a little sea salt.
Broil or sauté the pickled beets to slightly caramelize and blister the outer surface.
Top the eggs with the cucumber-tomato salad and the hot beets. Garnish with more herbs, a pinch of sumac, a little olive oil, and the pickling liquid from the beets.
