NOTES

To store scrambled eggs, let them cool, then put them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze them for 2-3 months.
To reheat, microwave them covered with a damp paper towel for 20-30 seconds, or warm them gently in a skillet with a splash of milk or butter over low heat.
