Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, ~1 minute.
Step 2
Working in batches, sear lamb pieces until browned on all sides, ~8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet; cook until fragrant, ~30 seconds. Return lamb to skillet.
Step 4
Pour 1 cup water into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook, covered, until lamb is tender, ~12 minutes.
Step 5
While lamb cooks, whisk yogurt with 1 minced garlic clove and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Step 6
Toast flatbread pieces in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, until golden and crisp, ~4 minutes.
Step 7
Crack 4 eggs into the simmering lamb broth. Cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, ~3 minutes.
Step 8
Divide crispy bread between two bowls. Spoon garlicky yogurt over bread, then ladle lamb, eggs, and broth on top.
Step 9
Scatter cumin seeds and pinch of black pepper over each bowl. Serve immediately.
