Description
This Greek Yogurt Scrambled Eggs recipe combines fluffy eggs with creamy Greek yogurt for an extra tender and protein-rich breakfast. Enhanced with simple seasonings and cooked gently in a skillet, these scrambled eggs are both delicious and nutritious, topped with fresh chives for a burst of flavor.
Ingredients
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
For Garnish
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, thoroughly 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: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter or olive oil. Allow it to melt and heat evenly but avoid browning.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour in the egg and yogurt mixture and let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds to start setting at the edges.
- Gently Stir: Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs by moving from the edges toward the center to create soft folds and slow curds.
- Continue Cooking: Keep cooking on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but remain creamy and slightly glossy.
- Serve & Garnish: Remove the pan from heat and let the residual warmth finish any remaining cooking. Garnish with chopped fresh chives for color and flavor, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Use low heat to ensure the eggs remain creamy and do not overcook.
- Greek yogurt adds extra protein and creaminess without diluting flavor.
- Fresh chives provide a mild onion flavor that complements the eggs perfectly.
- Optional garlic powder can be omitted or adjusted to taste.
- Butter adds richness, whereas olive oil offers a lighter, healthier cooking fat option.
