We can’t call these just scrambled eggs. At Ochre Bakery in Detroit, they soft scramble eggs with turmeric and serve them with tzatziki; a big pile of greens; a very generous serving of very good butter; two holey slices of country bread; and a tiny bowl of cumin seeds, Aleppo-style pepper, and flaky sea salt. A quick word to the wise: Preground curry powder can go musty quickly. If your jar isn’t fresh, replace it for the sake of these buttery, fast-scrambled eggs.
