Directions
-
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add chopped onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in cooked diced potatoes and bacon drippings, cooking until potatoes are heated through and slightly crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
-
Remove the onion and potato mixture from the skillet and set aside.
-
Add the remaining butter to the same skillet and melt over low to medium heat.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and plain yogurt until well combined and smooth.
-
Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet with melted butter.
-
Cook gently, stirring occasionally with a spatula, allowing curds to form slowly.
-
Just before the eggs are fully set but still slightly moist, stir in the reserved onion and potato mixture.
-
Remove the skillet from heat immediately.
-
Sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the top.
-
Let stand for 1 minute to allow cheese to melt slightly, then serve immediately.

Note
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
Substitutions: If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute plain yogurt with unsweetened plant-based yogurt and Swiss cheese with a vegan cheese alternative. You can also use olive oil instead of butter for a lighter version.
Tips: For extra richness, add a dollop of sour cream alongside the yogurt. Ensure potatoes are fully cooked before adding them to the skillet to prevent undercooking.
Variation: Try adding fresh herbs like chopped parsley or basil at the end for a brighter flavor profile.
