Made with plenty of olive oil and a thick, salted yogurt called tuzlu, this creamy-rich egg dish traditionally is served as part of a Turkish breakfast spread. The mixture is seasoned with fruity, mildly hot Aleppo pepper and paired with morning meze staples—think sesame bread, salty cheese, olives and fresh vegetables. To ensure the eggs are as velvety as possible, beat them well with the yogurt, taking care to incorporate any streaks. The recipe can easily be halved and cooked in a 10-inch nonstick skillet.

Don’t use regular yogurt for this recipe. It requires thick Greek yogurt, otherwise the mixture will curdle.

Delicious & Light
I made a 1/4 recipe for myself for lunch with a salad and toast. I had 0% lactose free Greek yogurt in the fridge so that’s what I used. The most light and fluffy scrambled eggs I’ve ever made. This will be my go to fast and delicious scrambled eggs. Thanks for the recipe!

Amazing scrambl3ed eggs!
I already use the high heat and olive oil in my regular scrambled egg making- using the yogurt raised this up a notch with the tanginess and not excessiive creaminess

Nice change of pace
Really enjoyed this twist on traditional scrambled eggs. Didn't add anything. Not heavy. Great with some warm flatbread.

Tangy and delicious
I halved the recipe for one.The yogurt adds a tangy flavor. I added a little zatar, sumac and feta, in addition to the allepo as garnish and it was so flavorful.
