Ingredients

scaled for 2
  • 4eggs
  • 2 tbspGreek yogurt
  • 1 tbspbutter
  • ¼ tspsalt
  • ⅛ tspblack pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk the eggs, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper until mostly smooth. A few small yogurt streaks are fine.

  2. 2

    If using vegetables, cook mushrooms or other sturdy items first. Wilt tender greens only briefly. Move them to a plate.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat. Pour in the eggs and let them sit for 10 seconds.

  4. 4

    Pull a spatula slowly across the pan, folding the eggs into soft curds. Pause between folds instead of stirring constantly.

  5. 5

    Take the pan off the heat while the eggs still look slightly glossy; residual heat will finish them. Fold in cheese, vegetables, or herbs and serve immediately.

The pan should feel almost too cool. Low heat and an early exit keep the curds soft; the tiny maple drizzle is the optional diner-style wild card.
