Can I substitute anything else for milk in making scrambled eggs or omelets? Like cream, perhaps?

I have a strong craving for milk. I love the taste of it. However, I'm trying to stay away from it yet still keep omeletes and scrambled eggs in my diet. Is there anything I can substitute for milk in the ingredients for them without noticing any difference? Would cream, light or heavy, work? Or something else?Can I substitute anything else for milk in making scrambled eggs or omelets? Like cream, perhaps?
You can add smidgen of sour cream to fluff them. Less is more here. Don't overdo it.Can I substitute anything else for milk in making scrambled eggs or omelets? Like cream, perhaps?
The best way to obtain smooth and fluffy eggs is to add a tbsp of cold water. This creates steam during cooking and will keep your eggs light. For richness and texture, use a nob of butter to cook your eggs. Also, take the eggs out of the pan just before you think they are done because they will continue to cook for a minute after they leave the pan. This will also help with a creamy texture and taste.





Hope this helps!
Cream certainly will work, to answer your question, although it will be richer.


As others have noted, though, it is confusing that you say you are trying to stay away from milk. We can only speculate the reasons.


As another responder has suggested, you can make omelettes and scrambled eggs with just a bit of water rather than milk or cream.
~cream (heavy or light)


~reconstituted dry milk powder (to make 1 C = 7oz water + 1/3 C powder, store what you don't use for later use)


~reconstituted powdered coffee creamer


~liquid coffee creamer


~ soy milk


~rice dream


~ reconstituted better than milk soy (I think it's 3 TB powder to 1 C water or so, the cannister says)


~ water








that's about all the ideas I have!
light cream will make them a lot fluffier and heavy whipping type cream will make them a lot heavier. i actually like to use half and half it makes them really rich. im sure u can use like buttermilk too





but just a warning, just solely staying away from milk will do nothing. if you continue to use milk products, for whatever reason you are avoiding milk, nothing will change.
never use anything but water in scrambled eggs and omelets. Adding milk or cream makes the eggs watery after cooking. Water makes them fluffy and steams away. You only need 1 tsp. water per egg. using water makes a MUCH higher quality scrambled egg or omelet.
I always add a little sour cream in my eggs, it make them smooth and a little tangy. I would also add just a tad of water. Cook them slow on low heat add salt and pepper and they will be great.
Actually, you can just add water to the eggs when you stir them; some people think that it makes for a more tender product.






Um, cream and half and half are milk products.





There will be a difference in taste and nutritional content.
Yes you can use cream, but if you're trying to stay away from milk for any health reason just keep in mind that cream is similar. Or just go without completely.
cream works very well


I prefer cream instead of milk.

Cream works.


I use a small amount of water %26amp; whisk well %26amp; get super fluffy scrambled eggs. Less calories %26amp; no problems with my milk allergies
you can add a little water,it will make then fluffy,and best of all no added calories.I do this all the time.
half and half would work; so would low-fat sour cream; rice dream ( a milk substitute), light cream will work but be hard on your thighs! :)
