Based on what I’ve been seeing on social media, many people are getting sick of all this cooking at home. And I can’t say that I blame them. While Eric & I really enjoy cooking together (and dancing around each other trying to work in concert within our small kitchen during meal prep!) we are not used to putting together quite this many meals a week. Simple ways to enhance the prep or the food are what many of us are seeking right now. This trick for making creamy & fluffy scrambled eggs is a winner.
Scrambled is the way I prefer my morning eggs. There are many additions one can make to the eggs to make them tastier. (Cheese is my favorite!) And while taste is a high priority, texture is also important in scrambled eggs. They can get kind of rubbery when whisked together with water. Many find that whisking the eggs together with milk makes for fluffier eggs. Our problem is we don’t usually have milk on hand now that Andrew and Gilbert no longer live with us. (Both of them can individually go through a gallon of milk in less than 2 days!) But what we often do have on hand is plain Greek yogurt. I use it for the base of dips and as a substitute for mayonnaise whenever possible, among its other uses. So it was an easy addition to our egg breakfast this week. And it truly made the eggs creamier and fluffier. The recipe can easily be scaled up for larger groups (when permitted!) by adding 1 teaspoon of yogurt for each additional egg used. Two eggs per person would be the standard serving size.
