Low FODMAP Greek Scrambled Eggs
Low FODMAP Greek Scrambled Eggs
Hands down this was my favourite recipe of the week. I normally have a little bit of a love-hate relationship with scrambled eggs but this low FODMAP Greek scrambled egg recipe has flipped me strongly to the love side.
Think fluffy eggs with tasty pops of tomato, lots of oniony flavour from the chives, and little hints of garlic infused oil (I promise it’s tummy friendly).
This recipe is also super simple and only needs a handful of ingredients which makes it perfect for breakfast or a light lunch/dinner.
FODMAP notes: Traditionally Greek scrambled eggs are often made with garlic - we’ve swapped this for a low FODMAP alternative and used a little bit of garlic infused oil and fresh chives. If fresh chives aren’t in season you could use dried chives instead - start with 1 teaspoon for 2 servings.

Ingredients
Make gluten freeGREEK SCRAMBLED EGGS
garlic infused oil
FODMAP
Garlic infused oil is normally found in the oil section of your local supermarket or you can buy it online. It should be clear with no floating bits of garlic.
You can also make garlic infused oil at home by frying garlic cloves in cooking oil until they are golden and fragrant, then remove and discard the garlic before you continue cooking your meal. This is a low FODMAP way to capture the garlic flavour as the fructans can't leach into the oil.
TO SERVE

- Dice the tomato - traditionally the tomato would be grated but I couldn’t be bothered doing this and finely dicing them work well. In a small bowl beat the eggs.
- Heat a medium-sized frypan over medium heat. Add the garlic infused oil and fry the diced tomato for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often until the juice reduces (you don’t want soggy eggs).
- Next add the olive oil, chives and parsley to the pan, then pour over the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Allow the egg mixture to sit for 10 seconds, stir, let sit for a few more seconds then gently fold the egg batter 2 - 3 times until the eggs are cooked to your desired texture.
- Serve the low FODMAP Greek scrambled eggs immediately with a side of buttered toast.
- If you want to boost the flavour even more then try adding some crumbled feta or a small pinch of chilli flakes.
