Greek Style Scrambled Eggs & Tomatoes (Strapatso me giaourti)

Written by Published on Updated on May 24, 2019 in Uncategorized

This traditional Greek recipe has been around for ages and ages, and I have been making this for as long as I can remember, but I only knew the main ingredients this recipe called for.  So, a  couple of weeks ago I was watching another cooking show and it seems that they have added a new ingredient, Yogurt.   I thought to myself what a delicious idea adding yogurt it  will absolutely give it a bit of a twist, and so I bookmarked the recipe to make at a later date.

I headed into the kitchen this morning, and had to see for myself  if the taste is as good with the yogurt.  I almost always have yogurt in the refrigerator, eggs, tomatoes, hmmm  had all the necessary ingredients and was ready to get started on the recipe. When it was done I was so curious about the taste, so I took a fork, dipped into it and oh myyyyy, it is absolutely scrumptious. 🙂 

I hope you enjoy this delightful, tasty, morning, brunch, lunch and even dinner recipe because I surely did. 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Oh my, I was thinking, I have everything but yogurt, well, I have yogurt but it's vanilla, not plain, and hehehe I almost talked myself into, "oh, it's will be ok, just use the vanilla" but I'll wait. Sophie thank you for sharing such yummy recipes, and with easy stuff that I have. I haven't forgotten the picture of the Japanese pestle, and mortar. I took a pic of it, I still haven't uploaded the pictures from my phone to the laptop. I know this is a simple task for normal people hehehe enough said :):):)
