Ingredients

Let’s take a closer look at what makes these Greek yogurt eggs the breakfast of champions! As always, check the recipe card below for the exact quantities.

• High-Quality Eggs: Go for free-range eggs if you can—they bring the best flavour and a richer, more velvety texture.
  
• Greek Yogurt: This is the secret ingredient! The yogurt adds that creamy element and a delightfully unexpected tang, making the eggs fluffier, tastier and have the best flavour. 
  
• Butter adds richness and prevents the eggs from sticking to the pan. Alternatively, you can swap it for Greek olive oil if you prefer.
  
• Oregano: The finishing touch! Dried oregano gives the dish a fresh, Mediterranean vibe with every bite.
  
• Salt & Optional Black Pepper: Season with good quality sea salt or kosher salt for a clean taste. You can also add freshly cracked black pepper for a little extra flavour if you like a subtle kick.

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Here’s how to do it in just a few simple steps! Follow along, and use the images to help you!

1. Whisk the eggs: Start by cracking 4 whole eggs into a small bowl. Then add a good pinch of salt, along with 3 tablespoons of full-fat Greek yogurt. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth, creating perfectly whisked eggs ready for cooking.

2. Heat the pan: Place a non-stick pan on medium-low heat. Add ½ tablespoon of butter (or you can use Greek olive oil).
   
3. Cook the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Using a rubber/ silicone spatula or a wooden spoon, gently pull the eggs from the edges toward the center, stirring continuously to form soft curds. Keep cooking until you are happy with the consistency (for me its 1 minute). It will not take longer then 2-3 minutes until the eggs are creamy and just set. After that, turn off the heat and immediately transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate.
   
4. Finish with oregano (optional): Finally, sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano on top, and optionally, add a little cracked black pepper for extra flavour.

Top tips for scrambled eggs

• Cook on medium-low heat: Do not skip this cooking tip. The most important thing is to not use a high heat! Maintaining a low to medium heat ensures the eggs cook gently, giving you a soft and creamy scramble without any dry or rubbery texture. 
  
• Season early for better flavour: Add a pinch of salt to the whisked eggs before cooking. This helps the seasoning evenly distribute throughout the scramble, ensuring each bite is flavourful. A well-seasoned scramble is always a winner!
  
• Whisk well: Make sure to whisk the eggs and Greek yogurt thoroughly. Whisking adds to the airy texture of the eggs! You want to make sure you're creating the fluffiest batch!
  
• Don’t overcook: Trust me, the eggs will keep cooking even after you turn off the heat. So, remove them from the pan when they’re still a little soft—this will keep the end result creamy.
  
• Use a rubber spatula: A rubber spatula is your best tool for gently stirring the eggs and making sure they don’t stick to the pan. If you don't have one, the next best thing would be a wooden spoon.

Serving suggestions

• Light side salad: For a lighter option, serve the eggs with a fresh salad of baby spinach, feta cheese, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  
• Extra toppings: Feel free to top your scrambled eggs with freshly chopped green onions, chives, a sprinkle of chilli flakes, or even a scoop of sour cream for extra creaminess and flavour. Fresh herbs like parsley or dill are also a great choice for added freshness!
  
• Create a big Greek breakfast: Finally, just like I do, you can serve these scrambled eggs with a full spread. Crispy, bacon, loukaniko (Greek sausage), fried halloumi, cherry tomatoes, and avocado. It’s the ultimate hearty, flavourful breakfast. You will want to eat it every single morning!
