I often wonder myself. When we stay in hotels, they often have small cheese omelets available. I am positive they were frozen. They have a nice flavor and texture. So I am thinking it is possible.

Freezing inevitably changes texture. It's a matter of preference I guess, but I would never bother to make ahead and freeze anything that took 5 minutes or less to fix.

I've never tried it like that, but you might scramble a couple of eggs and do an experiment.

We do the scrambled eggs in breakfast tacos and those are ok. Of course, the added bacon, sausage and cheese and other toppings also help. The mini quiches are good too.

I have never done it but I see scrambled egg meals in the freezer section of the grocery store. The atkins meals. I would try it with one portion and see if it changes it at all.

I make mini egg muffins (quiches) with added veggies and meats once a week in order to freeze them. They are a healthy and tasty grab and go when we head out the door in the early a.m.

I used to make bacon, egg, and cheese muffins or biscuits ahead of time for my husband. He could get one out of the freezer before leaving for work then zap it in the microwave once he arrived. The quality of these foods were consistently very good.

The key to reheating them in the microwave is to use a lower temp.

I haven't tried it (yet), but I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I love the Jimmy Dean breakfast frittatas and the Eggwiches, both of which are basically scrambled eggs. One of these days I'm going to try making them myself and freezing them to have on hand for a quick no mess (and less expensive) breakfast. There are a number of frozen scrambled egg meals available in the frozen food section, so it's definitely possible.

And no skillet to clean. : ) If it worked, I think this would be nice for someone needing help with meal prep, or elderly.

I will experiment this afternoon and make scrambled egg portions with cheese. I am getting a Costco grocery order this morning with a box of eggs and have a few left from the last order, will use those last few.

I would never bother to make ahead and freeze anything that took 5 minutes or less to fix.

I have a different perspective. Especially for morning stuff, fast and easy is good. I did experiment with pre-frying bacon and it turned out well. Too well. I could hear the fried-ready-to-eat bacon slices calling to me from the refrigerator throughout the day and ended up eating them. But frozen eggs would be safe, I think.

I freeze my cooked egg-a-muffins for my husbands breakfast grab. He still goes to work 4 days a week. If you microwave to unthaw them...do it slowly...or the eggs have a rubber-like texture.

Perfectly safe if frozen.....they will just lack the proper texture for me. But then I like my scrambled eggs on the soft side and fresh out of the pan. I don't even order them in restaurants as most overcook them to the point of rubber and then they sit even longer under heat lamps until the server picks up the order. Nasty!!

If you microwave to unthaw them...do it slowly. Thank you Rhizo and Nicole, I just learned how to use the power level on my microwave because of your comments!

I also have a toaster/ breakfast center I use when I want toast, it has a little warmer off to the side so I will try that too.

I do it all the time, so I don't have the mess of cooking eggs, pan to wash etc. I do only freeze scrambled eggs though. It is also helpful if they have a good sale on eggs and you buy more than you can use at a time.

Sale on eggs?? I have never seen one. And since they last a good 4-6 weeks (edible even well beyond that ) unless you purchase multiple dozens, it's hard to imagine having too many :-))

Sounds interesting ... if I were going out to work ... but I've been on gov't. pension for 25 years, and most days am not in a great rush when I start moving in the morning.

When one changes a frozen thing to appropriate to eat ... they call that "thawing", don't they?

When one "un-thaws" ... is that, like, re-freezing?

My ex-, who died something like 15 years ago, after we'd been apart for more than 30 years, used the "unthaw" term quite a lot ... (and she'd had 4 years of univ.; granted, learning how to run a food service system in a hospital).

But, come to think of it, I imagine they'd be "un-thawing" things on occasion, there.

Oh, well - one can't know everything. So I've heard.

Hope you're having a great day: I'm 91 today.

Thaw, unthaw. I also call that tank in my basement the hot water heater.

Happy Birthday, Ole Joyful!

The experiment has been started. One actually has to pay attention because as the eggs cool, off the stove, they still cook for a minute or two, and one wants them soft not overcooked. So they are scrambled and in the freezer in little 2 ounce jars which hold 2 scrambled eggs each.

Happy Birthday, Ole Joyful! I hope you had a day filled with all you love!!

I'll wait for the experiment to be tasted, so let us know Lucille.

I freeze scrambled eggs all of the time. if I'm making them then I make more than for 1 meal and freeze in the amount I usually eat for 1 meal. works out great! I usually put onion, green chilis and sometime mushrooms in them. It comes in handy to have that frozen egg for days I'm just too tired to make something for brunch or dinner. I also make egg bites in the IP and freeze those. they work out fine also.

unthaw - must be the area of the country one grows up in or where their parents grew up saying that. I've said it all of my life, that's what was said at our house. in more recent yrs I've tried to break myself from the habit of saying it. it doesn't make sense if one thinks about it, but then my words don't always come out making sense anyway. just ask my dog.

I've never done it but have thought about making little, cupcake sized egg, spinach and cheese frittatas. I buy them now from the freezer section of supermarkets, for a quick breakfast when I'm running late to work. You can nuke them quickly and eat in the car.

I made scrambled egg burritos (with sausage and cheese) for my sons and froze without a problem. I did encourage them to pull a serving out of the freezer the night before to thaw in the frig overnight. This made reheating easier.

A different approach is to bake scrambled eggs. Basically, I would sauté turkey sausage and various veggies. In another bowl, I would break up 6-7 eggs, add the cooked veggies, and place all in a greased 8" dish and throw a handful of cheese on top. Bake for 30 minutes. Each morning, I would cut off a square and reheat in the microwave. Very similiar to a crust-less quiche.

Experiment was a success. Decided to warm the eggs using the defrost mode of the microwave which is very gentle. Decided on eggs and cheese in corn tortillas, they were delicious. No discernible texture change but I think that was because of the gentle defrost warming.

I usually reheat on medium heat stir in between, I very seldom will do high, unless it is a smaller amount of things like pasta or veggies.
