Substitutions & Variations
Here are the substitutions and additions I recommend for this recipe. Remember, when you make substitutions, it will change the nutritional data from what you see below in the recipe card.
- Dairy-Free or Paleo: Dairy-free yogurt that is high protein like this brand can be used instead of Greek yogurt, although I've found it doesn't make the eggs as fluffy.
- For a Lactose-Free Option: You can use lactose-free cottage cheese if you tolerate it well.
- Add More Protein: Add some cooked turkey bacon, chicken sausage, or crumbled up tofu. I suggest cooking it separately and stirring it into the eggs after they're scrambled.
- Spicy Kick: Stir in salsa, hot sauce, sliced jalapenos, a pinch of crushed red pepper, or other dried chilies for a bit of heat.
- More Seasonings: Feel free to add in what ever extra dried herbs and seasonings or even fresh herbs to your scrambled eggs with Greek yogurt.
- Cooked Vegetables: Add any of your favorite vegetables cooked or uncooked to your protein eggs.

- Make Ahead. Scrambled eggs are always best freshly made and they take next to no time so I recommend making just what you need for the day.

Loved this recipe ! The Greek yogurt makes the eggs so fluffy ❤️❤️
Hello, just curious, in the scrambled eggs and Greek yogurt: where does the 1 gram of trans fat come from?
It comes from the eggs. There is a very small amount of tans fat in eggs. The system calculates the nutritional information automatically.
I'm so glad I found you. I'm 74 and have been in a fat battle most of my life. This is awesome.
Eating this right now and it’s delicious! I added some spinach and arugula and a little light cheese. The eggs are very fluffy and creamy. Thanks!
I cut this in half because my better half is out of town this week. I had Greek yogurt I needed to use up and this made for the perfect breakfast.
