So I eat these ALL THE TIME NOW. Like I will never eat plain eggs again.

Four ingredients (not counting salt or pepper to taste):

1 egg

1 pat butter

1/2 tablespoon of chipotle chilies in adobo sauce (smooth blended sauce)

1/2-1 full tablespoon of plain greek yogurt (I have the zero fat version, but the full fat would be fine too if you want the extra fat)

Heat small frying pan with butter until bubbly (I ususally do a medium high heat for this phase to get the pan hot and melt the butter before adding egg). While pan is heating, crack egg into bowl, add ingredients and then scramble up until the mixture is combined well. Turn heat down to medium low heat (lower is better to achieve a creamy/custardy texture to the egg), add egg to pan and stir constantly until egg is almost done. Remove from heat while still looking a bit "wet" as the egg continues to cook for a few seconds due to residual heat, and this prevents the egg from getting hard and overcooked. Plate, add salt and pepper to taste.

I use chipotle chilies in adobo sauce but the kind where they've blended it all up so it's a sauce with no chunks (you can buy the cans with the peppers still whole and just blend them yourself but this way is less to clean up). Adding dairy (greek yogurt) is a chef secret to get creamy fluffy eggs - any dairy will help, but especially sour cream or greek yogurt and the yogurt adds more protein! Cooking the egg on low heat, constant stirring and removing the egg from heat right before it is considered "done" results in a better egg too.

This results in a very creamy textured scrambled egg that has a lovely smoky slightly spicy flavor and works beautifully with sausage, bacon or ham. If you're unfamiliar with how chipotles taste, you might want to add less to start with (but if you like spicy without a hard burn, this is good stuff - add more if you want more spicy).

yummy! I like spicy everything and I've been obsessed with eggs lately. thanks for sharing.

This sounds so good! I might give it a try tomorrow morning.

I hope you'll post back if you like them.

I wanted to find some add ins for my egg because usually I just put a bunch of sharp cheddar or pepper jack (and some green onion) and cheese is high in both calories and fat. While still tasty, I'd like to have other options.

This sounds delish! I'm doing into puréed phase and can have eggs. This will definitely be on the menu. Btw where do you find the chipotle chilies in adobo sauce?

Walmart have them in the Latin foods isle. I usually use them when I make shrimp with the chipotle sauce

Thank you!

I just made the eggs and they were delicious! I had a whole egg and another one the egg white only. I did add little more chipotle sauce. Thanks again for the recipe. I love eggs and could eat them ant time of the day.
