Ingredients 

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp plain Greek yogurt, 2% or whole
  • salt and pepper, to taste (for toddlers only)
  • 1-2 tsp butter or cooking spray

Instructions 

  • Add: In a small bowl, add in the eggs and yogurt.
  • Whisk: Going in only one direction, whisk the mixture with a fork.
  • Melt: Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add in butter and let it melt. When it is bubbling, add in the whisked eggs.
  • Cook: Let eggs cook for 15 seconds, then using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the eggs from the outside of the skillet towards the middle.
