If you’re looking for the lightest, fluffiest dairy free scrambled eggs – read on, friends! There are many alternatives to milk in scrambled eggs, a few of these you likely have on hand already. Enjoy on no-knead toast, easy cornbread waffles, or a thick slice of sourdough garlic bread.
Growing up, my dad always made the best scrambled eggs. It was a Sunday morning ritual in our house – he usually made ‘bacon scrambled’ where he’d fry up little bits of bacon first, then fold in deliciously fluffy eggs for the perfect breakfast on toast.
While I learned to make really good eggs (always with milk) from my dad, I don’t keep milk in the house too often now. I’ve tried a whole bunch of alternatives in my scrambled eggs, and wanted to share the list in case you are without a carton in the fridge!
These Scrambled Eggs without Milk Are:

What’s In These Scrambled Eggs?
- Butter or Olive Oil
- Sesame Oil
- Eggs
- Red Pepper Flakes (optional for a little heat!)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Milk Alternatives – I’ve used a few different versions for perfect scrambled eggs!
- Sour Cream in Scrambled Eggs – gives them a totally silky and creamy texture.
- Greek Yogurt – make sure it’s plain and unsweetened! You can use a fat free Greek yogurt like this one (it’s our favorite!) or a full fat yogurt too.
- Almond Milk – plain and unsweetened! A great dairy-free choice. The higher the fat content, the creamier the milk will be.
- Coconut Milk: I use unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, which I’d definitely recommend over lite coconut milk. The flavor makes this dish super rich and creamy without any dairy.
- Ricotta Cheese – this creamy and irresistible ricotta cheese is a fantastic addition to scrambled eggs!
- Water – yep, plain old water (just a teaspoon per eggs) also does the trick!
How Do I Make These Scrambled Eggs without Milk?
- In a large pan, heat the butter over low heat until the bottom of the pan is coated and butter has melted
- In a bowl, add the eggs, milk alternative, salt, and pepper. Beat together until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Pour the eggs into the pan, cooking over very low heat. LOW AND SLOW is the rule for scrambled eggs in our house, it helps to cook the eggs evenly.
- Every few minutes scrape the cooked eggs off the bottom of the pan with a spatula and fold into the pan. Repeat cooking for about 10 minutes until eggs are firm and cooked, no longer runny.
- Plate eggs over toast of choice, and add toppings: I used fresh chopped scallions, crushed red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds – but use your favorite fresh vegetables or herbs. Enjoy!
