Cooking eggs without oil or butter requires a little bit of both. Here are some recipe suggestions that can help. Eggs are a good source of protein; according to the USDA , a medium-sized egg offers Cutting down on your oil and butter consumption doesn't have to mean that you miss out on eating eggs. Fortunately, they're a very versatile ingredient, and there are several ways to cook them.
In fact, many methods of preparing eggs don't require oil or butter at all, so cooking eggs without oil or butter is not as difficult as it sounds. With a few slight adjustments, you should be just fine. For instance, instead of trying to make omelettes without oil, you could opt for boiled, deviled or poached eggs.
Boiled eggs can be eaten plain, chopped up and added to salads, or sliced up and layered into sandwiches. Similarly, if you're trying to make scrambled eggs without butter, you could try a more creative approach where you scramble the eggs and add them to a simmering liquid instead of frying them, sort of how you would with egg drop soup.

Scrambled eggs should be soft, creamy and gently scrambled. A quality non-stick pan and silicone spatula are really useful. Eggs are delicate and cook very quickly. I like to take the pan off of the heat before the scramble has finished cooking. When the butter begins to bubble, pour in the eggs and immediately use a silicone spatula to swirl in small circles around the pan, without stopping, until the eggs look slightly thickened and very small curds begin to form, about 30 seconds.
Change from making circles to making long sweeps across the pan until you see larger, creamy curds; about 20 seconds. When the eggs are softly set and slightly runny in places, remove the pan from the heat and leave for a few seconds to finish cooking.
Give a final stir and serve immediately. Serve with an extra sprinkle of salt, a grind of black pepper and a few fresh chopped herbs if desired.

Reply Constance January 24, , pm Very creamy scrambled eggs! Here are five recipe ideas you can use. Have your eggs cracked and ready to stir, then add the oil or butter, quickly but thoroughly stir the eggs, and pour them into the hot pan and barely warm oil. Two notes here: It might look like a lot of oil, but you need enough fat to coat the pan and then a little more depending on how many eggs you are cooking; I was cooking ten eggs.
I actually cook my eggs in a frying pan without any oils or butter at all. I just crack an egg into the frying pan it has Teflon, but I think it would work in a regular pan too and turn it on medium-low heat. After a few minutes the egg will start puffing up, and it might "pop" a few bubbles.
Step 1: Beat It Beat your eggs until they're completely blended. Add a little water, cream or milk to make them tender. Use 1 tablespoon of liquid per egg. Good and healthy alternatives to fry the eggs are microwaved scrambled eggs, hard or soft-boiled eggs, and poached eggs.
