Crockpot scrambled eggs with sausage and cheese is a simple breakfast you can season to your liking. Like our Crockpot breakfast casserole, this is geat for a crowd during the holidays!
I mean tell me these scrambled eggs don’t look delish! Skip standing at the stove to make this favorite Christmas breakfast. Just throw all your favorite ingredients in your pot and let it do all the work. Just one easy Crockpot meal on our site we hope you’ll love.
Of course you can enjoy these as is right out of the pot but the way we love them is to make air fryer burritos with this wrapped inside! You can choose to make them as simple as just fluffy eggs or add all the things because man if you do this will be a huge hit for everyone at your house.
We started with this food simple. Used silicone cups to cook Crockpot eggs either soft boiled or firm and hard. Both were a hit and if you have a few pots you could make them both so guests have a variety of choices. Those too can be topped with eggs or have bell peppers added on to the top.
This too can be tweaked to your liking or what you have in your fridge right now. Need them to be dairy free? NO problem, I get it because that is a necessity for my husband. You can substitute lactose free or almond milk, and Daya has a cheese that melts quite well too.
Ingredient Notes
You want to start with the main protein which is eggs whisked in a bowl. If you wanted to leave it at that you would just need the next 2 items below to cook properly and add flavor but could skip the rest for a plain version.
Milk or heavy cream, dairy free options are fine too, will be used to “stretch the budget” sortaspeak which means it will make more and also create a fluffier texture.
Salt and pepper to taste are the basics but if you like spicy you could add red pepper flakes too if you like.
Optional Add Ins
We lot a lota lota cheddar and or Mexican blend cheese shredded in there. Mix and match with the varieties you like. I like to add spicy ground sausage, precooked in there to add protein and flavor. And to make more like a casserole add frozen hash browns and bagged
Substitutions and Variations
This is a great easy pork recipe to make if you have leftover precooked meat from the morning before. Many times if I make Sausage Balls with Red Lobster Biscuit Mix with this I will just buy 2 packages of spicy Jimmy Dean in the roll so I have enough. Some diced bell peppers are nice if you want veggies in there
I do add shredded potatoes (but bagged) because they are super versatile to make this as well as making things like slow cooker potato soup with frozen hashbrowns.
We will show you how to do just that all in one pot. Using a slow cooker is a great way to do it all. You can cook and keep warm in the same machine, or saute in a frying pan and transfer into here with the lid on and use the warm setting when done.
If you’re going to go all the way you’re going to use the following ingredients. To make burritos when done you’d want a package of large air fryer tortillas too. Then you are going to layer all the things in your pot, cover, allow to cook and stand back and enjoy your day instead of cooking.
You can just wrap your hot breakfast inside a wrap and enjoy or if you wanted to crisp the outside like fried but not, follow our air fryer chimichanga timing at the end. A great recipe if you like a bit of crispy texture on the outside.

How to Save Leftover Scrambled Eggs
When this is done I would actually turn it off so it doesn’t continue cooking. Setting to warm will dry it out a bit more. It will continue to stay warm for a good 30 minutes with the lid on. When everyone is done leave the lid off and allow to cool. Saving them doesn’t usually turn out great unless you add them into a scrambled eggs recipe the next day.
On their own will have a kinda’ strange texture but if you fry up some sausage the next day and then add this in for the last minute you can actually revive it quite nicely.
Can I freeze any leftovers? Does it freeze well?
Hmmmm haven’t tried that, don’t think eggs would be a great texture when defrosted
