How you prepare them for the next day depends on whether you want to reheat them or eat them cold. Reheating eggs can be challenging, because if you overheat them, they will become dry and rubbery.

Cooking for Reheating

Step 1: Crack the Eggs Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a wire whisk or a stick blender. When you cook eggs outside of the shell, whipped eggs reheat better than whole eggs. Step 2: Add Some Milk Add milk to the egg mixture to keep the eggs moist when you reheat them. Use 1 tablespoon of milk for each egg. Advertisement Step 3: Scramble Until Almost Cooked When preparing scrambled eggs the night before, use a skillet over medium heat until they are fluffy but still slightly underdone for your taste. Undercooking them leaves some moisture in the eggs and keeps them from drying out in the refrigerator or while reheating. Step 4: Add Some Meat or Veggies Mix the eggs with sautéed vegetables or cooked meats. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and bake the eggs at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the edges firm up but the center is slightly soft. Advertisement Use this method if you prefer quiche-like eggs instead of scrambled. As with the scrambled eggs, you want them a little under-done so that you can finish them the following morning. Step 5: Boil Your Eggs Boil the eggs in a pot until they are to your desired level of doneness if you prefer not to whip them. Boil them for up to up to five minutes for a soft-boiled egg and up to 15 minutes for a hard-boiled egg. Advertisement Advertisement The longer you boil the eggs, the firmer they become.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs Scramble the eggs in a skillet over medium heat until they are done to your taste. You can also cook the eggs into an omelet or an egg bake, but they must be cooked to doneness because you will not be adding any more heat.

Put the eggs in an airtight container and transfer them to the refrigerator immediately after cooking. Leaving eggs out too long could lead to food-borne illnesses. According to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA FSIS), any food that has been at room temperature for more than two hours should be discarded. Leave the boiled eggs in the shell and put them in an air-tight container to prevent the odor from permeating your refrigerator. Eat refrigerated hard boiled eggs within one week, as advised by the USDA FSIS. You can eat boiled eggs cold the next day or reheat them by putting the eggs, in the shell, in a heat-safe container, pouring hot water over them and letting them sit for 10 minutes. Do not reheat boiled eggs in the microwave. Reheat the whipped eggs in a covered dish in the microwave for the best results. Set the microwave to high and heat in 60-second increments. You can also eat cold fried eggs, but you should cook them until the yolks are firm. Do not try to reheat fried eggs; they will get rubbery no matter how long you cook them.
