    Preparation Process:

    1. Prep the Saffron: In a small bowl, steep the saffron threads in a tablespoon of hot water for about 10 minutes.
    2. Whisk the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, saffron infusion, turmeric, black pepper, and sea salt until well combined.
    3. Cook the Scramble: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and pour in the egg mixture. Gently scramble the eggs, using a spatula to create soft curds.
    4. Add the Cheese and Herbs: Once the eggs are almost set, sprinkle the feta cheese and dill over the top. Cook for another minute or two, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
    5. Plate and Serve: Divide the scramble among two plates. Drizzle with additional olive oil and serve immediately.

    Total Time: 15 minutes

    Serving Ideas:

    Mediterranean Feast: Serve with a side of crusty sourdough toast, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of za’atar.

  • Asian Fusion: Pair with a side of steamed rice, a drizzle of soy sauce, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
