HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

02

In a separate small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of the chopped fresh dill. Set aside.

03

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour in the egg mixture.

04

Cook the eggs, stirring gently with a spatula, until they are set but still soft and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.

Divide the scrambled eggs between two plates.

06

Spoon the garlic-dill yogurt mixture generously over the scrambled eggs.

07

Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon of fresh dill and red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra richness, you can add a pat of butter to the skillet with the olive oil. Adjust the amount of garlic and dill to your personal preference.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have Greek yogurt, regular plain yogurt can be used, though it may be thinner. Chives or parsley can substitute for dill in a pinch, but dill offers the most authentic flavor. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and a dairy-free yogurt alternative.

Storage & Reheating

This dish is best enjoyed fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, but the texture of the eggs and yogurt may change upon reheating.
