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
- 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.
- Heat the Pan: Heat butter or olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat to prevent overcooking and allow gentle cooking.
- 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.
- 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.
- Slowly Finish Cooking: Continue to cook the eggs slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are just set but still creamy and moist.
- 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.
