Cooking Instructions

1. 1.

2. 2.

   Mix yogurt, cucumber, garlic, chopped mint, and 3/4 tsp. kosher salt in a medium bowl; set tzatziki aside.

   5 min

3. 3.

   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.
