How To Make Scrambled Eggs with Yogurt

Making scrambled eggs with yogurt is so easy and it really does make the BEST scrambled eggs. Here's how to make healthy Greek yogurt scrambled eggs.

Step One - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, yogurt, salt and pepper until smooth.

Step Two - Heat a medium nonstick pan over medium-low heat and spray with cooking spray. Pour the ingredients from the mixing bowl into the pan.

Step Three - Using a spatula, slowly scrape the sections of the eggs to the center of the pan as the bottom starts to set, creating soft folds for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total just until the eggs set.

Step Four - Remove the eggs from the heat once they have reached the desired doneness and serve warm!

What To Serve With Scrambled Eggs

Here's a few healthy options to serve with scrambled eggs. Fruit, vegetables (hot or cold), bacon or turkey bacon, chicken or turkey sausage, slice of whole grain bread, low carb or Paleo bread would serve well with scrambled eggs!

Substitutions For Yogurt Eggs

Here's 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.

• Eggs - I used half whole eggs and half egg whites for this recipe to increase the protein without increasing the calories. If you were to replace the egg whites with whole eggs, it will increase the calories and decrease the protein content because 2 egg whites only equal 1 whole egg. While a whole egg has healthy fat and we want to include that healthy fat in the diet, we also want to be balanced in the breakfast approach and not go overboard with the healthy fat and calories.
• Greek Yogurt - I used low fat yogurt for this recipe. You can use nonfat or full fat if you prefer. If you don't like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese is a great alternative!
• Dairy Free / Paleo - Dairy free yogurt that is high protein like this can be used instead of Greek yogurt, although I've found it doesn't make the eggs as fluffy. You can also use lactose free cottage cheese if you tolerate lactose free well. Note, lactose free cottage cheese is not Paleo. You can add 2 egg whites or a 1/2 cup of egg whites or add another meat source like turkey bacon, sausage or crumble up tofu.
• Additions - Salsa, hot sauce, relish, dried herbs and seasonings could all be easily added to this recipe. You can also add in vegetables and cook them with the eggs.
