Things I’ve Learned

To avoid rubbery eggs, cook them on medium heat and stir gently. Leftover scrambled eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat on low in a skillet or microwave to avoid overcooking. You can also prep the onion and tomato mixture ahead of time to save on brunch day!
