Growing up, my dad always made the best scrambled eggs – and he taught me the best method to use.. 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 from my dad, I prefer using milk alternatives. Using the right technique, you can add any dairy alternative to your eggs for a great flavor and fluffy texture. These perfect eggs one of my favorite breakfast foods, and are great for weekend brunch or entertaining breakfast guests.

What’s In These Milk Free Scrambled Eggs?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

  • Eggs – use good quality eggs for this recipe. I like using organic eggs which I can get locally, or any free range option.
  • Butter or Olive Oil – or coconut oil for an alternative.
  • Eggs
  • Red Pepper Flakes (optional for a little heat!)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Milk Alternatives – I’ve used a few different dairy and non-dairy milk options for perfect scrambled eggs!

Adding Vegetables To Your Eggs

I like adding green onions to my eggs, which give them a great flavor. You can use roasted bell pepper, top with fresh herbs, or fold in some baby spinach or tomatoes to the whisked eggs. 

Add any vegetables you have on hand – your personal preference. You can add eggs to breakfast tacos, serve with toast, a homemade breakfast burrito, or English muffins!

How Do I Make These Scrambled Eggs without Milk?

It’s simple!  Choose one of the alternatives listed, and enjoy!  This recipe uses 6 eggs as the base, so if you use more or less eggs, make sure to scale the ingredients up or down to match.

  1. In a large frying pan or non-stick pan, heat the butter over low heat until the bottom of the pan is coated and butter has melted
  2. In a bowl, add the eggs, milk alternative, salt, and pepper. Whisk eggs until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan, cooking over very low heat.  Low and slow is the rule for creamy eggs, it helps to cook the eggs evenly.
  4. Every few minutes scrape the cooked egg mixture off the bottom of the pan with a silicone spatula and fold into the pan. Repeat cooking for about 10 minutes until eggs are firm and cooked, no longer runny.
  5. 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!
  6. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
