For Elite Scrambled Eggs, Add This Creamy Sauce You've Never Thought To Use

Tzatziki is the perfect secret ingredient for serving the best scrambled eggs. Unlike the tricks that make the fluffiest scrambled eggs, this Greek sauce-slash-dip-slash-spread isn't here for a texture revamp. Instead, combining tzatziki with eggs turns the classic breakfast staple into something much more flavorful without requiring laborious prep work.

Made with yogurt, garlic, cucumber, herbs, spices, and lemon juice, tzatziki brings a whole lot of flavor to otherwise plain-tasting eggs. The yogurt adds richness and creaminess, the cucumber and lemon provide a refreshing contrast to the buttery eggs, and the garlic and seasonings (like dill and black pepper) add a botanical aroma to the mix.

Unlike when you add tzatziki to coleslaw as the dressing, here you'll incorporate the tangy sauce by using it as a condiment rather than mixing it in. Since tzatziki has a very distinct cool, creamy, and garlicky taste, it's best to serve it on the side so you can control the amount you add to each bite. Or, you can spoon a dollop over toasted bread before placing the scrambled eggs on top.

Although tzatziki already offers a burst of flavor on its own, there's still room to elevate its combination with scrambled eggs by adding a few more ingredients. If you want to emphasize the salty, tangy bite of this yogurt-based sauce, add crumbled feta. Scatter a generous amount of the cheese over the cooked eggs (and be sure to store any leftovers properly since feta doesn't last long after opening). To reinforce the herbaceous notes present in tzatziki, toss in chopped dill, parsley, mint, or chives. Any of the four is sure to give the dish hints of clean, green freshness.

To make your tzatziki scrambled eggs more filling, introduce hearty ingredients such as cooked spinach, sautéed mushrooms, or roasted red peppers. If you're feeding a group, plate them as side dishes for the main attraction so people can pick and choose. Chopped tomatoes can also be folded into the scrambled eggs for a bit of juicy sweetness and acidity. Tzatziki already contains shredded cucumber, but if you want more crunch and a bright pop of green, feel free to garnish the sauce with more sliced cucumbers. Finally, serve with warm pita, flatbread, or toasted sourdough to turn the flavorful meal into a substantial breakfast.
