PIN FOR LATER

The holiday season is officially upon us. For me that means entertaining….without the fuss. These days my entertainment is more centered around quality time with friends & family. This slow cooker scrambled eggs recipe allows me to have breakfast or brunch ready without spending time away in the kitchen.

Real California Milk

Having lived in California for over 17 years now, I try to shop local the best I can. A simple way for me to do that is to look for the Real California Milk seal when I’m purchasing dairy products. Real California Milk products are made with sustainably sourced milk from California dairy families. Since California dairies are 99% family owned and operated this means real food from real people.

How Many Eggs To Use

You can cook anywhere from 12 eggs to 48 as long as you have a slow cooker that is large enough to fit it all. The more eggs you use, the longer you may need to cook the eggs but the simplicity of the recipe will remain the same. The recipe is written to feed a holiday brunch crowd so I used two dozen (24 eggs). If you use 12 eggs, cut the recipe in half.

Milk or Cream

The key to fluffy slow cooker scrambled eggs is in what dairy you use.  One of the things I love about this recipe is that you can use your preferred milk and cheese. I used buttermilk. I like to add buttermilk to my eggs because it’s not as heavy as whipping cream and it helps keep the eggs soft during the slow cooking process.

What Type Of Cheese To Use

What type of cheese should you use? The short answer is you should use your preferred cheese whether it be cheddar, mozzarella, or marbled jack cheese which is what I used. Marbled jack is a combination of orange Colby and white Monterey Jack cheese. It has a mild flavor and melts easily. 

Tips For This Slow Cooker Egg Recipe

• Grease the slow cooker generously with butter or use a slow cooker liners. Cooking spray is not enough, you need to use butter. If you skip this step your eggs will stick and burn to the sides of the slow cooker.
• Add your favorite cooked meats and veggies to this. Suggestions include diced onion, bell pepper, and sausage or bacon.
• Stir halfway through cooking time if you can.
• Turn your slow cooker to the warm setting to keep the scrambled eggs heated
• Every slow cooker heats differently. Your eggs might done after 6 hours on low or it might take 8. Insert a knife into the center; when it comes out clean you’ll know it’s done. Mine took about 6 1/2 hours on low.
• This is not a recipe that should be made in the Instant Pot using the slow cooker function.

I used a 6-quart slow cooker to make this recipe.
