Method
Yogurt Sauce: Mix cucumber with salt; let stand for 10 minutes. Squeeze out moisture. In small bowl, stir together cucumber, yogurt, garlic and dill. (Make-ahead: Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for up to 2 days.)
Paprika Butter: In small microwaveable bowl, combine butter, paprika, chili powder and cumin. Microwave on medium until melted, about 45 seconds.
Herb Salad: In bowl, whisk oil with lemon juice. Add arugula, cilantro, mint and dill, if using; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Assembly: Spread each slice of toast with Yogurt Sauce. Top each with 2 poached eggs; drizzle with warm Paprika Butter. Top with Herb Salad.
Tip from The Test Kitchen: To keep poached eggs heated, place them in a bowl of warm water. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to dry briefly before serving. Substitute prepared tzatziki for Yogurt Sauce if you’re pressed for time.
