Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt full-fat recommended
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil

Optional Add-ins

  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes for heat
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder for depth of flavor
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley for garnish
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta or grated Parmesan for extra creaminess
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest for freshness

Instructions
 

Step 1: Whisk the Eggs and Yogurt

  • In a bowl, crack the eggs and add Greek yogurt.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

  • Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Add butter or olive oil, letting it melt but not brown.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs Slowly

  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
  • Stir gently and continuously, moving the eggs from the edges toward the center.
  • Cook on low heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently for soft, fluffy curds.

Step 4: Add Final Touches

  • Just before the eggs fully set, add cheese (if using) and stir gently.
  • Remove from heat while slightly undercooked—they will continue cooking from residual heat.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

Step 5: Serve Immediately

  • Enjoy warm with toasted bread, sliced avocado, or a side salad.
  • For an extra creamy finish, drizzle a spoonful of yogurt on top before serving.

    Pro Tips for the Best Scrambled Eggs

    • Use Full-Fat Greek Yogurt: It adds extra creaminess and richness.
    • Low & Slow Cooking: Prevents rubbery eggs and keeps them fluffy.
    • Don’t Overcook: Remove from heat slightly underdone for a perfect texture.
    • Whisk Well: More air in the eggs = fluffier texture.
    • Stir Gently: Avoid breaking the eggs into tiny pieces—soft curds are best.

    FAQs

    • ❓ Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
    • Yes! Regular plain yogurt works, but Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier.
    • ❓ What’s the best way to store leftovers?
    • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or yogurt.
    • ❓ Can I make this dish high-protein?
    • Yes! Use extra egg whites or serve with smoked salmon for more protein.
    • ❓ What’s the best herb to add?
    • Chives, parsley, or dill work great for fresh flavor.
    • ❓ Can I freeze scrambled eggs with yogurt?
    • No, freezing changes the texture, making them watery when reheated.
