Steps

1. 1

   Begin by preheating the broiler, ensuring that the rack is positioned approximately 4 to 5 inches away from the heat source.

2. 2

   Combine the eggs and yogurt in a small bowl, whisking them together until well blended. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Preheat a small oven-safe skillet, like cast iron, on medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, introduce the mushrooms and green garlic. Stir occasionally until the mushrooms release their juices and the green garlic becomes tender with a hint of browning, which should take around 4 to 5 minutes. Proceed to transfer the cooked mushrooms and green garlic onto a plate for later use.
