Description
Delicious and creamy soft scrambled eggs cooked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs (about 240g), fresh
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons (15-30ml) extra virgin olive oil, for cooking
- 2 to 3 tablespoons (30-45g) Greek yogurt, plain
- 1 tablespoon (3g) chopped chives, for garnish
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Whisk Eggs & Flavor: Start by whisking the eggs in a bowl until they are light and frothy. The eggs should have a nice, pale yellow color, indicating they are ready for cooking. Add a pinch of kosher salt at this stage to boost the flavor.
- Heat the Pan: Heat your nonstick skillet over low to medium heat until it feels warm but not hot. Swirl 1-2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil around the pan to coat the bottom, creating a sheen. Monitor the heat closely, as overheating can make the eggs rubbery.
- Add Eggs & Stir: Pour the whisked eggs into the heated pan. Begin stirring gently with a rubber spatula. Allow the eggs to set slowly, becoming soft and creamy. Do not rush this process, as cooking too fast will lead to dry eggs.
- Incorporate Yogurt: When the eggs are still slightly undercooked, turn off the heat and stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt. This addition will create a rich and creamy texture. Ensure you wait to add the yogurt until you have turned off the heat to allow for a smooth blend.
- Serve & Enjoy: Plate your soft scrambled eggs immediately after mixing in the yogurt. For an elegant finish, sprinkle some chopped chives on top. Serve right away to enjoy their fluffy texture.
Notes
- Storage Tips: Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in the pan over low heat.
- Expert Tips: To prevent rubbery eggs, keep the heat low and stir gently throughout the cooking process. For added moisture and flavor, sprinkle salt into the raw eggs before cooking. Always turn off the heat before adding Greek yogurt for a smooth consistency. Drizzling olive oil into the raw eggs before cooking adds richness.
- Reheating Instructions: To reheat, place the eggs in a nonstick skillet over low heat for 5 minutes or until warmed through.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these soft scrambled eggs with a fruit salad for a balanced meal. You can also pair them with simit or Mediterranean bread. For an extra touch, top with marinated mushrooms.
- Recipe Variations: For additional flavor, mix in crumbled goat cheese just before serving or add a pinch of Aleppo pepper for heat. Incorporate sautéed shallots for a wonderful onion flavor.
- Ingredient Notes: When selecting eggs, choose the freshest available for the best taste and texture. Substitute Greek yogurt with nonfat or low fat Greek yogurt if desired. Consider using thinly sliced green onion tops instead of chives for a different flavor profile.
