Leftovers

Leftover broccoli and cheese scrambled eggs can be stored in a fridge for up to 3 days. You can serve the leftovers cold, or reheat them and serve them warm.

Scrambled eggs can also be frozen! Keep in mind that they do tend to dry out slightly after thawing, so I only recommend freezing slightly undercooked or barely cooked eggs.

Top tips

Here’s my very best advice on how to make the perfect scrambled eggs:

Crack the eggs right into a medium hot pan, and scramble them by moving them about. If you whisk the eggs together before pouring them into a pan, they will never be as creamy.
Use gentle movements to turn and fold the eggs. Harsh movements will result in crumbly scrambled eggs and isn’t as nice.
Dry eggs are the worst! Cook them until they are just about done, then remove them from the pan.
