Description

A creamy and flavorful twist on classic scrambled eggs made with Greek yogurt, resulting in extra fluffy and protein-packed eggs perfect for a nutritious breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)

For Cooking

  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using) until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Heat the Pan: Heat butter or olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat to prevent overcooking and allow gentle cooking.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to allow the edges to start setting.
  4. Stir Gently: Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs by moving from the edges toward the center to encourage fluffy curds without breaking them up too much.
  5. Slowly Finish Cooking: Continue to cook the eggs slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are just set but still creamy and moist.
  6. Serve & Garnish: Remove the pan from heat and let the residual heat finish cooking the eggs. Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

  • Using Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess while keeping the eggs moist.
  • Cook over medium-low heat to avoid rubbery eggs.
  • Garlic powder is optional but adds a nice subtle flavor.
  • This recipe serves 2 people and can easily be doubled for more servings.
  • Use fresh chives for a mild onion flavor and vibrant garnish.
