Soft Scrambled Eggs
Description
This recipe uses large eggs seasoned with kosher salt and combined with olive oil before whisking. The eggs are cooked over medium heat in olive oil, stirred often with a rubber spatula while they begin setting but still retain moisture. Turning off the heat before fully cooked and stirring in Greek yogurt completes the creamy texture and slight tang. The residual heat finishes cooking the eggs without drying them out.
This technique produces scrambled eggs with a delicate, soft consistency that differs from traditional firmer styles. The chives sprinkled on top add a subtle herbaceous note and visual appeal.
Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy texture at its best. The use of yogurt enriches the eggs without overwhelming the flavor, making this a subtle but satisfying option for breakfast or brunch.
Tips include warming the pan and eggs together to prevent overheating, using a rubber spatula to protect nonstick surfaces, and accounting for carryover cooking to avoid overcooking.
Ingredients
- 4 egg large
- kosher salt
- extra virgin olive oil
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chives chopped
Instructions
- Prep the eggs: Add the eggs to a small mixing bowl and season with a big pinch of kosher salt. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and whisk until combined.
- Oil the skillet: In a small nonstick skillet, add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and set over medium heat. Warm the olive oil only for 30 seconds or so, then add the whisked eggs.
- Cook the eggs: Cook the eggs over medium heat, stirring regularly with a rubber spatula, until the eggs are beginning to set (there should be some wet parts, and that’s okay).
- Add the yogurt: Turn the heat off and add the Greek yogurt. Continue to stir until the yogurt is fully incorporated and the eggs have fully set. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Serve: Transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates and finish with the chives. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Warm the pan and eggs simultaneously while stirring to prevent the eggs from drying out.
- Use a rubber spatula to avoid damaging nonstick cookware during stirring.
- Turn off heat just before eggs are fully set and stir in Greek yogurt to maintain creaminess.
