Can you use eggs as a leftover?

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.

"Chanteuse_ar" has good advice.

Answer 2

You can. All the breakfast sandwiches you buy frozen at the supermarket are eggs that have already been cooked. But you'd have to be very careful about reheating them because they can get rubbery very easily.

I would suggest you undercook the omelette a little bit and then refrigerate it. Next day, take it out of the fridge and let it sit out for about 20 minutes so it's not so cold when you put it in the microwave. Place it on a plate under some plastic wrap..the steam will help keep it moist.

It doesn't take all that long to make a fresh omelette so to save time you could mix up the eggs and anything else you'd want in them, put the raw egg mixture in an airtight container in the fridge overnight and then just pour it into a hot pan in the morning.

Answer 3

Cooked eggs do not freeze well but they refrigerate very well. The next morning is fine and up to a couple of days won't hurt them. You might see a little water separate out of cooked eggs but that doesn't hurt anything.

Answer 4

You can most definitely refrigerate an omelet (or any cooked eggs), and use it the next day. The texture of the outside will be different, but the inside will not be any different (unless your fridge is like mine and so loaded with stuff that you crush it).

Answer 5

I would not frezze them but over night in the fridge is ok. Make sure its air tight. Try making some pork fried rice with the left over eggs. YUMMY

Answer 6

Don't freeze it, just refridgerate. You can shred the omelette and add to Chinese fried rice or stir-fried noodles...yummy!

Answer 7

no, unless they were hardboiled then there good for a couple of days
