Notes

SERVE: You can keep the cooked eggs out for about 90 minutes before they need to be covered and refrigerated.

STORE: Place leftover eggs in an airtight container and store them for 4-5 days.

FREEZE: You can freeze the cooked eggs, but be forewarned that the egg whites will be rubbery. To freeze:

Cool the eggs, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze until frozen solid, about two hours.
Transfer to a freezer-safe container or zipper-top bag and freeze for up to six months.

THAW: Thaw the egg(s) overnight in the refrigerator.

REHEAT: Place the egg(s) in a skillet with a teaspoon of butter. Place the skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until the eggs are heated through.
