Total Time: 2 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your slow cooker by lightly greasing the interior with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack all 12 eggs and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the milk into the whisked eggs and continue to mix, ensuring a smooth and consistent texture.
- Add salt and black pepper to the egg mixture, stirring to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- If using, gently fold in the shredded cheese and chopped green onions into the egg mixture.
- Carefully pour the entire egg mixture into the prepared slow cooker, making sure it's evenly distributed.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set to low heat setting.
- Cook for approximately 2 hours, checking occasionally and gently stirring the eggs every 30 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- The eggs are done when they are set but still soft and fluffy, with no visible liquid remaining.
- Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the eggs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions or cheese if desired.
Tips
- Grease your slow cooker thoroughly to prevent stubborn egg residue and make cleanup a breeze.
- Whisk eggs until they're slightly frothy for maximum fluffiness and even texture.
- Don't skip the occasional stirring - gently fold eggs every 30 minutes to ensure uniform cooking.
- Use whole milk for richer, creamier eggs - avoid skim milk for best results.
- For extra flavor, experiment with mix-ins like diced ham, crispy bacon bits, or different cheese varieties.
- Keep a close eye on cooking time; every slow cooker varies slightly in temperature.
- Let eggs rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow them to set and become even more luxurious.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture - reheated eggs can become rubbery.
