Slow cooker scrambled eggs are the easiest way to make fluffy, creamy eggs for a crowd. No standing at the stove flipping batches — just whisk, pour, and let your crockpot do the work. Perfect for holidays, brunch spreads, potlucks, or busy mornings.
If you want to make fluffy scrambled eggs with little fuss, try my crockpot scrambled eggs recipe. Yes, I know they can be made on the stove top, but this is a way to make them when you don’t have a stove, or you simply need to make and keep eggs warm in the slow cooker. We make Slow Cooker Breakfast Casserole, Slow Cooker Breakfast Burritos and Slow Cooker Quiche, so why not scrambled eggs, too?!
Key Ingredients
Eggs – One carton of large eggs
Milk – Whole milk keeps the eggs creamy and soft as they cook low and slow.
Butter – Melted unsalted butter adds richness and helps keep the eggs from drying out.
Seasonings – Just kosher salt and black pepper. Simple seasoning that lets the rich egg and butter flavor shine.
How to Make Slow Cooker Scrambled Eggs
- Whisk the eggs with milk, butter, and seasonings until smooth.
- Pour into a greased slow cooker and cook on LOW, stirring occasionally.
- Once creamy and set, turn off heat and serve warm.
Tips & Variations
Cheesy: Add one cup of shredded sharp cheese just before serving. Replace the lid to let the cheese melt, this will take about 5 minutes.
Use whole milk: Whole milk gives the creamiest texture. Lower-fat milk can make the eggs slightly thinner.
Meaty Version: Fold in cooked crumbled bacon, breakfast sausage, or diced ham after the first hour.
Serving Tips
- Turn the slow cooker to warm for serving. You can keep these warm for up to 2 hours.
- If the eggs seem watery (from condensation), simply use a paper towel to sop it up.
- Eggs too dry? Add a few pats of butter
- Serve the scrambled eggs with sides like toast, bagels, breakfast potatoes, bacon, breakfast sausage, or fruit salad. You can also use them as a filling for breakfast tacos or burritos.
Can this be doubled?
Yes, as long as your slow cooker is large enough. You may need a little extra cooking time.
Slow Cooker Scrambled Eggs Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Chopped fresh chives, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Lightly grease the inside of a slow cooker with a small amount of butter or non-stick spray to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Crack 12 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup of whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter. Whisk the mixture vigorously until the eggs, milk, and seasonings are thoroughly combined, and the texture is smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture into the greased slow cooker and place the lid securely on top.
- Set the slow cooker to its low heat setting. Allow the eggs to cook for 2-3 hours. Stir the eggs with a spatula or wooden spoon every 30 minutes. This prevents sticking, helps distribute the heat evenly, and ensures the eggs achieve a soft, scrambled consistency.
- Check the eggs for doneness around the 2-hour mark. They should be set with a creamy texture but not dry. If they need more time, continue cooking, but check frequently to avoid overcooking.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the slow cooker insert, or turn off the slow cooker to stop the cooking process.
- Transfer the eggs to a serving dish or serve directly from the slow cooker. Garnish with chopped fresh chives. Serve warm and enjoy!
