I’m not a huge breakfast eater. In fact, I would prefer not to eat breakfast at all. However, I know that breakfast is “the most important meal of the day” so I’ve try my best not to skip it. On the other hand, Kora and Logan love all things breakfast and would eat it at every meal if they could. So we’ve been trying all different kinds of breakfast foods lately and happily discovered that they like scrambled eggs.
The other day I cracked three eggs, went to the refrigerator for the milk and realized we were out.
I was stumped. I’d already cracked the eggs and didn’t want to waste them but couldn’t think of what I could make minus the milk. So I did a quick search online for “scrambled eggs no milk” hoping I’d find a good substitute.
I was shocked to find that there were a number of recommendations to use water (1/2 eggshell for every egg) or nothing at all, with many promises that the eggs would be much fluffier without the milk. I scoffed at the internet. Why would I have been using milk all these years if water or not using anything actually made the eggs better?
But I had no choice so I gave it a try. I went with the water.
And to my amazement, the internet was right the eggs were so much fluffier!
And they tasted better too, much lighter and no aftertaste. I’m still so surprised by this. I haven’t tried using nothing but the eggs themselves yet, but next time I make scrambled eggs, I’m going to give it a try.
How do you make scrambled eggs? Do you add milk or water or do you just use the eggs themselves?
I too learned from my mom that scrambled eggs are best with a little milk. I’ve never tried to make them any other way, but now I’ll give water a try. Breakfast is my favorite meal.
Usually I just use eggs but I have tried them with milk or water – I agree, they come out fluffier!
LOL….I have never used anything in my scrambled eggs!!
Never tried without milk (or Lactaid) but have tried by themselves. I’m going to use water next time and see if they can come out as beautiful as yours!
I never would have guessed that water contribute to fluffier eggs. I have always done milk. I will definitely be trying this.
Being lactose intolerant, I’ve always either used milk or nothing. My kids and I have always loved our fluffy eggs. :).
I just use plain eggs if its for myself but ive always used milk if i need to stretch it out and make more but ive never tried water, will have to now.

I was taught to use milk but I found my eggs to be fluffier with nothing add. I am so use to using nothing in my eggs, I forgot that some people do use milk or water.
Depends on who’s eating them. My hubby likes his a splash of milk and a sprinkle of cheese. I prefer water or nothing in mine. Our boys eat them either way.
i have always used just eggs. my grandmother taught me if you need to stretch my eggs had so milk. i didn’t know it made the fluffy
I’ve always used water…and yes they are so much fluffier than when you mix them with milk! I’m not sure where I learned the tip to use water instead of milk but I’ve done it that way for years!!!
My kids also like when I mix one wedge of the Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese in with scrambled eggs. It makes the eggs super creamy!
I don’t use anything, and I love how my eggs turn out. I may have to try water now just to see the difference.
I’ve always used water, and I much prefer that to milk. Glad you finally got clued in! :)
