3 Ways You Can Meal Prep Eggs
Hard Boiled Eggs:
The easiest way to cook eggs is to boil them. Boiling eggs is the most common way of preparing eggs. The eggshell will protect the yolk from bacteria and bacteria will not enter when you boil your eggs. Boiled eggs can last indefinitely in the fridge if refrigerated properly.
Fried Eggs:
You can fry your eggs for breakfast or as an additional dish for lunch or dinner. You can make fried eggs in advance and store them in the refrigerator, to be microwaved later in the week
Scrambled Eggs:
You can also meal prep scrambled eggs by storing them in the fridge. They are convenient to make any time of the day. You can also use leftover scrambled eggs to complete your meal prep for the week if you’re running low on time.
