Can you use eggs as a leftover?
I was wondering if it is safety to say cook an omlete at night, freeze it, or refridge it and then micorwave it the next morning for breakfast.
Answers:
Yes. It's unnecessary to freeze it if you'll use it within 4 days and your fridge temp is 40 degrees F or cooler. Put it in an air tight container for storage. It reheats best if in a closed container. If the omelet is hard-cooked you can lightly sprinkle w/ water or milk before you nuke it, to make it a bit more moist. As w/ all microwave reheating, you'll notice a texture change. Wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then placed in a self-closing plastic bag it'll keep 4 months in your freezer. When closing the bag, lightly press out as much air as possible. Don't forget to label contents AND date. Some people find the rubbery texture of reheated frozen eggs unpleasant. You'll have to make that decision.
