How to Store

Leftovers can be stored safely in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When reheating, it’s best to do so in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through. For optimal texture, avoid overcooking your eggs during reheating as they can become rubbery.

Tips to Make It Perfect

1. To add depth to your flavors, consider seasoning your vegetables with herbs and spices like garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning while sautéing.
2. If you prefer a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or a dollop of cream cheese to the eggs before whisking.
3. For a protein boost, throw in some cooked sausage or bacon pieces toward the end of cooking.
