Spiced eggs with tzatziki: a delicious brunch recipe

Ingredients for Spiced eggs with tzatziki

• 10 ml cumin seeds

• 15 ml flaky sea salt

• 10 ml Aleppo-style pepper

• 240 ml full-fat yogurt

• 120 g finely chopped English hothouse cucumber

• 1 garlic clove, finely grated

• 15 ml finely chopped mint, plus leaves for serving

• 10 g kosher salt, divided

• 8 large eggs

• 60 ml double cream

• 60 g unsalted butter, softened

• 10 ml curry powder

• parsley leaves with tender stems, dill sprigs (for serving)

How to make Spiced eggs with tzatziki

1. Toast the cumin in a dry small frying pan over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until slightly darkened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool. Once cooled, mix in the sea salt and Aleppo-style pepper, then set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, chopped mint, and ¾ tsp kosher salt to make the tzatziki. Set aside.

3. In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, single cream, and the remaining 1 tsp kosher salt until well combined.

4. Heat the butter in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat until it starts to foam. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant and darkened in colour, about 10 seconds.

5. Pour in the egg mixture and let the eggs cook undisturbed until the edges have just set. Then, scramble the eggs by tilting the pan and turning them over onto themselves until just cooked through, about 2 minutes.

6. Transfer the eggs to a plate and spoon the reserved tzatziki alongside. Top with mint leaves, parsley leaves, and dill sprigs, then sprinkle the reserved spice mixture over the top.

7. Do Ahead: The tzatziki (without mint and cucumber) can be made up to 1 week in advance, as the garlic flavour will intensify as it sits. Cover and chill until needed.
