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?

• ❓ 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.
