💡 Expert Tips and Tricks
- This is truly a hands-off recipe, so resist the urge to break up or stir the eggs as they cook.
- To avoid rubbery eggs, be sure to remove the eggs from the slow cooker as soon as they're cooked through. This will prevent overcooking and watery eggs.
❔ FAQs
Believe it or not, runny scrambled eggs are typically caused by overcooking rather than undercooking. Adding too much liquid is also a common reason for runny eggs.
Giving the eggs a good whisk to incorporate air helps make them fluffy. Adding some kind of dairy or water will also give them a lighter and fluffier texture.
When it comes to feeding a large group, I recommend about 2 eggs per person.
📝 Substitutions and Variations
- You can create firmer scrambled eggs by reducing the amount of milk and increasing the cooking time.
- Add extra flavor by mixing in shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, or diced ham.
- Pack these eggs with veggies like bell peppers or spinach.
- Half-and-half or cream can be used instead of milk for an even richer result.
Kristin's Kitchen Tip
Be sure to allow the eggs to sit without disturbing them so everything cooks evenly!
🥡 Storage and Reheating
If you have leftover crockpot scrambled eggs, transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 3 months or so.
I recommend reheating in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds or so. Allow frozen eggs to thaw in the fridge before reheating for best results.
