If you’re looking for a quick and satisfying breakfast that will fit perfectly into your Weight Watchers plan, then a simple dish of scrambled eggs on toast is a great choice.
Not only is it easy to prepare, but it also fits perfectly into your daily Points allowance.
It works out to just 2 Points per serving on the WW Points plan (depending on the bread you use), making it an excellent option for those wanting a tasty, filling and low Point start to their day.
Of course, scrambled eggs on toast isn’t just limited to breakfast! You can enjoy it any time of the day – I particularly like to eat it as a quick and easy lunch.
Ingredients
4 large eggs: A great source of protein and low in Points.
2 tablespoon skim milk: Adds creaminess to your eggs without adding many Points.
Salt & pepper to taste: Simple seasonings that enhance the flavor.
2 slices of bread: Whole grain bread adds fiber, which helps keep you fuller for longer but you can use any low Point bread you like.
Cooking spray: Helps prevent sticking and can add flavor.
Chopped chives: Optional but tasty!
See below in the recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Toast the Bread: Start by toasting your bread.
Whisk the Eggs: Whisk the eggs together in a bowl with the milk until they are fully combined. This helps create fluffy eggs.
Season: Add a little salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Scramble the Eggs: Heat a non-stick pan over a low to medium heat. Add a few squirts of calorie controlled cooking spray and then pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently and continuously until the eggs are scrambled and just starting to set. Remove from heat while they’re still slightly soft.
Serve: Place the scrambled eggs on top of the toast, season with salt and pepper, and some chopped chives (optional)!
Hint: To achieve the creamiest scrambled eggs, remove them from the heat just before they’re fully set. The residual heat from the pan will finish cooking them to perfection.
Substitutions
There are a couple of substitutions that can be made to this recipe, but beware that any changes may change the Point value of the recipe.
Dairy-Free: Replace the milk with a non-dairy alternative like almond milk or just use a splash of water.
Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free bread to make this dish gluten-free.
Vegan: Substitute the eggs for a vegan egg alternative like JUST Egg.
Variations
Add Veggies: You can incorporate chopped spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients without adding any extra Points.
Spice it Up: Add a pinch of dried chili flakes or a little drizzle hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Protein Boost: You could include a little lean ham, turkey bacon or smoked salmon for added protein, but keep Points in mind.
Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. A good quality pan ensures that your scrambled eggs don’t stick to the bottom!
Non-stick frying pan: Essential for cooking eggs evenly and preventing sticking.
Whisk: Helps incorporate air into the eggs, making them fluffier. You can use a fork but a whisk is better!
Toaster: For perfectly crispy toast I always use a toaster.
Top tips
To achieve the creamiest scrambled eggs, remove them from the heat just before they’re fully set. The residual heat from the pan will finish cooking them to perfection. Leaving them on the heat for too long may lead to watery scrambled eggs …. and no one wants their eggs watery!
Use a low (ish) heat! Cook the eggs slowly over a low to medium heat to avoid them overcooking and stir continuously to acheive a soft and creamy texture.
FAQ

1pinchsea salt
1 pinchground black pepper
1tspchopped chivesoptional
2slicesbread(2 WW Point Bread)
Instructions
Start by toasting the slices of bread to your preferred level of golden brown.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk until they are well combined. Add a pinch of black pepper and a pinch of salt and mix.
Heat the oil in a good quality non stick pan over a low to medium heat. Add the egg mixture to the pan and cook slowly, whilst stirring continuously. I use the whisk to stir the eggs but a wooden spoon works just as well.
Continue to stir the eggs until they are just about set and then remove them from the heat.
Continue to stir the eggs once they have been removed from the heat (they will still be a little runny) and they will continue to cook in the residual heat of the pan until they are perfectly done.
Place the eggs on top of the toast and top with a little more salt and pepper if needed and some chopped chives if desired.
Enjoy and remember to track on your WW App!
