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 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 butter or olive oil, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan and let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds to start setting at the edges.
- Gently Stir: Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center to form soft curds, being careful not to over-stir.
- Continue Cooking: Slowly cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are just set but remain creamy and moist in texture.
- Serve & Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and allow residual heat to finish cooking the eggs. Transfer to plates and sprinkle with chopped fresh chives before serving immediately.
Notes
- For best results, cook on low heat to maintain a creamy texture and avoid overcooking.
- Using Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess but can be substituted with regular yogurt or cream if desired.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or dill can be used as alternative garnishes.
- This recipe can be doubled easily for more servings.
- Optional garlic powder adds a subtle savory flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
