The Best Healthy Scrambled Eggs
I’m about to share a secret to add protein and creaminess to your scrambled eggs. It makes them rich and so fluffy. You’ll never make them another way.
My secret?! Adding a bit of Greek yogurt! It takes your scrambled eggs to the next level while also boosting the nutritional value of your morning breakfast.
I also added sautéed shallots, garlic, and spinach plus havarti and sharp cheddar for a wonderful, slightly sophisticated flavor combo. I pair mine with cherry tomatoes and avocado for brightness and freshness. Buttered whole wheat toast is a must with any good egg breakfast. All together, it’s a delicious, healthy and satisfying morning meal!
Ingredients in these Greek Yogurt Scrambled Eggs
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 3 eggs + 1 egg white, This will create enough for 2 servings. I like to add one eggs white to make it a little lighter.
- greek yogurt, this is what adds the ultimate creaminess and extra protein!
- cheese, I used a combo of havarti and sharp cheddar, two of my favs. But add whatever you prefer and have on hand!
- fix-ins, I spiced up my eggs with sautéed spinach, garlic, and shallots. Honestly, this is what I had on hand, but was a delicious combo. Feel free to go this direction or add in whatever you have at home! Other yummy add in include sautéed mushrooms, onions, and/or peppers. Or add some meat like cooked bacon or sausage.
- sides, I paired mine with cherry tomatoes, avocado, and toasted and buttered whole wheat bread. It adds brightness and crunch for a well-rounded and satisfying meal.
Instructions
- Scramble the eggs with greek yogurt, In a bowl, whisk together the 3 eggs, 1 egg white, and 2 tablespoons greek yogurt. Don’t worry if small lumps of greek yogurt are present. They will melt into the eggs as they cook.
- Cook the veggies, Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the shallots for 2-3 minutes. Add in the garlic and spinach and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the spinach wilted. Season with a pinch of salt. Remove from pan.
- Cook the eggs, Add a little more olive oil to the pan and lower heat to medium low. Next, add the egg mixture and slowly cook until moving the eggs with a spatula until curds form. Continue until eggs fully cooked. Add cheese a couple minutes before eggs are complete finished cooking so it fully melts.
- Season, add desired amount of salt and fresh cracked pepper.
- Bring it together. Add spinach mixture to eggs and fold together.
- Serve it up, with toast, avocado, and cherry tomatoes!
