Scrambled Eggs For A Crowd Calculator

If you’re responsible for preparing scrambled eggs for a school, brunch, church event, work or other gathering and need to know how much to buy and prepare to feed a crowd, you’ll can get an estimate of how much you’ll need per person using this calculator.

Scrambled eggs are actually easy to make for a crowd. You can even offer your guests a variety of toppings to make your eggs more “eggciting”. The recipe used by this calculator is for buffet-style eggs used by restaurants and caterers, which is baked in the oven. They are fluffier than traditional home-style scrambled eggs, and won’t dry out as quickly during serving time.  On a side note, this recipe is also ideal for babies just learning to eat solids.  These light, fluffy scrambled eggs are easier for little ones to gum apart and swallow.

If you are serving smaller quantities, you can even cook these scrambled eggs in the microwave (50% power in a 1100 watt unit, stir at 5 minute increments until “set”). If you prefer home-style, denser scrambled eggs, just cut your liquid amount in half.

Enter the number of guests you’ll be serving and the calculator will provide you with a breakdown of the ingredients you’ll need to prepare scrambled eggs for your event or gathering.

The calculator will give you an estimation of the ingredients and quantities you’ll need to feed 10, 25, 30, 50, 100 or more guests. You can even print out the results.

The calculator proves the average serving size of a side of scrambled eggs for breakfast, which averages out to about 4.25 total ounces per person.  This is in addition to other breakfast items being offered such as bacon, pancakes, toast, hash browns, etc.  If scrambled eggs are the primary breakfast offering, you should increase the quantity by 20%.
