butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil offers healthier fats.

caraway seeds

🥗Healthier: fennel seeds

💰Cheaper: anise seeds

Fennel seeds can mimic the flavor profile.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt is lower in fat and adds creaminess.

Combine the milk, salt, and caraway seeds in a pot set on medium to high heat and warm it up.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until smooth.

Once the milk reaches 90°C (194°F), slowly pour in the egg and sour cream mixture while whisking continuously.

Let the mixture simmer for around 5 minutes until curds start to separate from the whey.

Strain the mixture using a colander set over a bowl, pressing the curds to remove excess whey.
