I'm hosting an informal brunch in the morning and would like to prepare as much of the ingredients as I can before I actually make the dishes. One dish requires that I beat 10 eggs (later to be mixed with other ingredients). Can I beat the eggs, seal them in a container (in the fridge of course) then use tomorrow-safely?

Absolutely - I do this all the time (particularyl for Christmas brunch). You may not want to add any onions or ingredients that are strong flavoured, however, and leave those until the morning to add - you can chop them the night before and keep them in a separate container.
Enjoy!

Yes its fine I do the same thing. You may want to just give them a quick whisk with a fork in the morning before you add the other ingredients though. Have fun and enjoy your brunch! Julie :)

Absolutely! There are plenty of breakfast casserole recipes out there that allow you to assemble the uncooked ingredients (including scrambled eggs) and refrigerate covered overnight. Your plain, uncooked scrambled eggs are no different.
Anything to streamline your morning is always helpful! Good luck!

Yes. But it doesn't take that long to scramble the eggs, so why bother? If you're using entertaining the next morning, you have other stuff taking up space in your fridge.

ou will get mixed answers on this one, but I think it would be best to do it in the morning because you don't know what kind of bacteria it will attract when out of the shell. But if you did I think it would be ok, just not as fresh.

Yes, it's fine. Make sure it's a clean bowl. You may need to re-beat them just before using (so they have that just beaten consistency)

Yes you can...they will not fluff up like freshly beaten eggs though. So if your making a quiche, it won't work. If your making a fritata, or omlette, it should be fine.

As long as you keep them refrigerated they will be fine. The egg is simply out of it's shell, it isn't as if you are changing it's composition.

yes, that is ok
but if you are making scrambled eggs from them, i would just scramble them in the skillet and not cook them fully- which makes it possible to heat them up in the am and finish cooking them ( i do that part in the microwave)
