Notes
How to Store & Re-Heat
To store: Mediterranean Scrambled Eggs, let the dish cool down to room temperature and then transfer it to an airtight container. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. If you have leftover scrambled eggs, it's best to store them in a separate container from any other ingredients that you may have used to prepare the dish. This will help to prevent the eggs from absorbing any other flavors and ensure that they taste fresh when reheated.
To reheat: Mediterranean Scrambled Eggs, there are a few options. You can reheat the eggs in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the microwave by placing them in a microwave-safe dish and heating them on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. When reheating, make sure that the eggs are heated evenly throughout and that they are not overcooked, as this can cause them to become dry and rubbery. Enjoy your reheated Mediterranean Scrambled Eggs with your favorite toppings or as a filling for a breakfast sandwich.

Mediterranean Scrambled Eggs can be made ahead of time for easy meal prep. You can prepare the dish up to 24 hours in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

You can also freeze the Mediterranean Scrambled Eggs for up to three months. To freeze, let the dish cool down to room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag, and label it with the date. To thaw, place the frozen scrambled eggs in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat following the earlier instructions.
How to Freeze
