    Scrambled eggs without milk.

    If you found yourself staring at an empty milk carton wondering, "Can I make scrambled eggs without milk?" Then this easy recipe is for you.

    Whether you are looking to make scrambled eggs without dairy products because of lactose intolerance, or just didn't buy enough milk at the grocery store, you can still whip up the best scrambled eggs for breakfast with an easy substitution I'm sure you already have on hand!

    What can I substitute for milk in scrambled eggs?

    Most commonly scrambled eggs are made using the addition of milk. The primary goal of milk is to add some flavor, but more importantly, the liquid is key to creating the fluffiest scrambled eggs. The good news is that you can simply substitute a splash of water instead and still get that same fluffy texture you crave!

    Making scrambled eggs with water won't add the subtle creamy texture milk provides, but it does an excellent job at adding the moisture needed to make fluffier eggs. You can also mix eggs with heavy cream, which is obviously a dairy product, or you can use dairy-free milk substitutes like soy milk.

    Ingredients Needed

    • Fresh eggs
    • Water
    • Table salt
    • Black pepper - I strongly recommend freshly ground pepper.
    • Butter - To make this recipe dairy free you can substitute a dairy free spread instead, such as margarine or olive oil. Different kinds of fat such as bacon grease or duck fat can be used as well.

    How to make it

    This scrambled eggs recipe without milk is made the same way as traditional scrambled eggs. Crack eggs into a mixing bowl and add salt, pepper, and water. Then whisk eggs well to combine with a fork.

    For the next step, the butter can be melted in a nonstick skillet set over medium low heat, then the beaten eggs get poured into the hot pan. Let the eggs start setting then fold the uncooked eggs with a silicone spatula as they cook to create fluffy curds. When the eggs are almost completely firm, remove them from the frying pan and serve.

    Storing Leftovers

    Leftover scrambled eggs can be stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within three days and you can easily microwave eggs to reheat them.
