Posted by Solitary Dancer on February 19, 2008
Saw this over at Serious Eats and it sounded really good. A simple egg dish made just a bit elegant. Spoil yourself with this delicious idea.
Serves 2
Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced shallot
Generous pinch of kosher salt or fleur de sel
Generous pinch of freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 heaping tablespoons Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons minced chive
2 tablespoons grated sharp cheddar cheese
Procedure
1. Melt the butter in a small nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the shallot, salt, and pepper and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, stir, and cook for about a minute. Add the yogurt.
2. Stir up the eggs with a spatula or wooden spoon and continue to cook until barely set, 2 to 3 minutes. If you like your eggs custardy take the pan off the burner every thirty seconds. Keep if off for thirty seconds before you return it to the heat. Add the cheese and the chopped chives and fold in gently. Transfer to a warm plate to keep the eggs hot.
