Spiced Eggs with Tzatziki image

Preground curry powder can go musty quickly. If your jar isn't fresh, replace it for the sake of these buttery, fast-scrambled eggs.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tsp. cumin seeds
1 Tbsp. flaky sea salt
2 tsp. Aleppo-style pepper
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
½ cup finely chopped English hothouse cucumber
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 Tbsp. finely chopped mint, plus leaves for serving
1¾ tsp. kosher salt, divided
8 large eggs
¼ cup heavy cream
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 tsp. curry powder
Parsley leaves with tender stems and dill sprigs (for serving)

Steps:

  • Toast cumin in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing, until slightly darkened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl; let cool. Mix in sea salt and Aleppo-style pepper; set aside.
  • Mix yogurt, cucumber, garlic, chopped mint, and ¾ tsp. kosher salt in a medium bowl; set tzatziki aside.
  • Whisk eggs, cream, and remaining 1 tsp. kosher salt in another medium bowl until very well combined. Heat butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium until starting to foam. Add curry powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant and darkened in color, about 10 seconds. Pour in egg mixture and let eggs cook, undisturbed, until edges have just set, then scramble, tilting pan and turning eggs over onto themselves, until just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer eggs to a plate. Spoon reserved tzatziki alongside. Top with mint leaves, parsley leaves, and dill sprigs; sprinkle reserved spice mixture over.
  • Do Ahead: Tzatziki (without mint and cucumber) can be made 1 week ahead (the garlic flavor will intensify as it sits). Cover and chill.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less cumin next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggs turned out rubbery. I think I might have overcooked them.

This recipe is a great way to add some extra protein to your diet. The eggs and tzatziki sauce are both packed with protein.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover tzatziki sauce. I often make a big batch of tzatziki sauce and then use it to make this dish throughout the week.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook eggs and this recipe definitely fits the bill. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the tzatziki sauce was a great addition.

I made this dish for my vegetarian friend and she loved it. She said it was the best egg-free dish she's ever had.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs. The tzatziki sauce is also a great way to add some extra flavor and creaminess to the dish.

I made this recipe for my family and they loved it. The eggs were so tender and the tzatziki sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again!

These spiced eggs with tzatziki were a hit at my last party! The eggs were perfectly cooked and the tzatziki sauce was creamy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this dish again.
