Notes

To Store: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, and reheat in the microwave to an internal temp of 165F.

To Freeze: Personally, I don't love the taste of egg dishes that have been frozen. However, my husband doesn't mind it at all, so it's a preference thing. For me, the eggs get a little spongy, but he really doesn't care. If you want to try freezing. Store in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave from frozen, or defrost the night before, then reheat to 165F internal temperature.
