Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or regular yogurt
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil, for cooking

Optional Add-ins & Variations

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder – Adds depth of flavor
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika – Adds a subtle smokiness
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese cheddar, feta, or Parmesan – For extra creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs chives, parsley, or basil – For garnish

Instructions
 

1️⃣ Prepare the Ingredients

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until fully combined.
  • Add the Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper, whisking until smooth.

2️⃣ Heat the Pan

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat.
  • Add butter or olive oil and let it melt evenly.

3️⃣ Cook the Eggs

  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for 10-15 seconds without stirring.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs from the edges toward the center.
  • Continue stirring occasionally, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are soft but not dry.

4️⃣ Serve & Garnish

  • Remove from heat and immediately transfer to a plate to prevent overcooking.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Serve with toast, avocado, or a fresh side salad.

Expert Tips & Tricks

  • Use full-fat yogurt for the best creamy texture.
  • Cook on low heat to prevent the yogurt from curdling.
  • Avoid overcooking – remove the eggs from heat slightly before fully set, as they continue cooking off the stove.
  • Whisk thoroughly to prevent lumps and ensure even fluffiness.
  • Pair with toast, grains, or greens for a balanced meal.
  • Variations & Substitutions
  • Dairy-Free: Use unsweetened almond, soy, or coconut yogurt instead of dairy yogurt.
  • Spicy Version: Add ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes or ½ teaspoon harissa paste for heat.
  • Vegan Alternative: Try tofu scramble with plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free, egg-free option.
  • Keto-Friendly: Omit the toast and serve with avocado and smoked salmon.
  • High-Protein Boost: Add ½ cup cooked quinoa or a side of chicken sausage.

Storage & Reheating

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing: Not recommended—eggs lose texture when frozen.
  • Reheating:
  • Stovetop: Reheat on low heat, stirring frequently.
  • Microwave: Use short 15-second intervals, stirring in between.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I use non-dairy yogurt?
