Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s ready once your skillet is prepped.

- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Sprinkle the reserved vegetables on top, then add small dollops of goat cheese across the surface 🧀
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the eggs are fully set in the center.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with fresh herbs before slicing and serving. 🌿
