Advice on a scrambled omelette?

Question

I want to make one, but I don't make the time to make one every morning. Would it be possible to make a really big one and store it in the refrigerator for later and heat it up? Or will it not reheat right or go bad or something?

Answer 1

No reheating isn't bad, but overcooked eggs turn green(you see them only in cafeterias and buffets). They are still edible, the home cooked rarely are cooked that long. Yes, you can make a big batch, cook until just dry. Cool, divide and freeze, use your defrost in order to warm them up. I am personally found of a scrambled egg and bacon sandwich(yes with ketchup).

Answer 2

Here's a better idea. Try buying pasteurized pre-cracked eggs. They usually come in a container that looks like a milk carton. These are real eggs, not the egg substitutes that are lower in cholesterol. Precook any ingredients like sausage or bacon, chop your vegetables ahead of time, shred cheese, etc. Store everything in separate containers. Then all you have to do when you are ready to eat is quickly heat your fillings in a skillet, pour in some eggs from the carton, and scramble. This doesn't take any more effort than reheating, and the results are a lot better.

Answer 3

No, pre-making and then cooking your omelet won't ruin the mix. Just make sure you use it up within say, about six days of making. Else, you run the risk of something breeding in, growing in and even ruining the mix. Just remember to stir in all up really good BEFORE you cook it though. The stuff WILL settle while it sits in the refrigerator. As to re-heating the already made omelet, now that could ruin the flavor as the eggs and what not have already been cooked and the bio-chemicals already altered once before.

Answer 4

Look at the expiry date on the eggs and use that as a guide of how long your omelette can stay refrigerated. You can prepare a 6 or 7 egg omelette at the beginning of the week, like Sunday evening and as long as you keep it refrigerated, its fine to used.

Answer 5

Instead of heating in the microwave, you can cook it in there. All you have to do is break the yolks up, add precooked sausage or bacon, veggies, cheese,whatever you want in it. It will cook in no time!

Answer 6

Frozen scrambled eggs are commomly served at Dunkin Donuts and i never order them any more because they are hard on my stomach. Try microwave it cooks eggs very well.

Answer 7

Answer 8
