"'From the Lands of Figs and Olives' cookbook and I added a few personal touches (olive oil, spearmint, za'atar/sumac).) Light and fluffy eggs! Easy! Palestinian/Jordanian."

 

• Ready In: 6mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 5 eggs
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 5 tablespoons yogurt cheese ('laban', curd cheese or yogurt cheese ( see Yogurt Cheese.)
• 2 tablespoons butter

• Garnish

• olive oil, for drizzling
• 3 -4 fresh spearmint, minced (sub *fresh* parsley or cilantro if you dislike mint)
• za'atar spice mix or sumac

directions

1. Whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper and yogurt cheese. Set aside.
2. Melt the butter over medium-low heat then pour in the egg-yogurt mixture.
3. Stir lightly for about 1 1/2 minutes or until just barely cooked I always undercook eggs because they will still cook off heat. Our gas stove top is very efficient and the eggs were done to my liking in less than 2 minutes.
4. Plate the eggs and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Garnish with the spearmint leaves; sprinkle of za'atar or sumac. If you don't have either of those spices, garnish with paprika.

Nothing wrong with the recipe; the yogurt cheese adds a nice richness to the eggs. Apparently, I do not za'atar in my eggs! Next time I will use sumac. I also didn't like the fresh parsley - to fresh & crispy for comfort food scrambled eggs, imho. Maybe if it was added in sooner to soften up? Like I said, it's not a bad recipe. The options I used just didn't suit me. Made for NA/ME Tag 3/13.
