Store the breakfast scramble in an airtight container (or divide it into multiple containers to enjoy throughout the week).<\/p>\n<h3>How long does breakfast scramble last in the fridge?<\/h3>\n<p>Breakfast scramble lasts for up to four days in the fridge. After a few days, the texture of the eggs will start to become a little rubbery.

It&#8217;s always a good idea to have make-ahead breakfast scrambles (or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/make-ahead-breakfast-burritos\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/make-ahead-breakfast-burritos\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">freezer breakfast burritos<\/a>) that can be popped in the microwave at a moment&#8217;s notice!

Feel free to bulk up the scramble by including more veggies, like bell peppers or broccoli.<\/p>\n<h3>What goes well with a breakfast scramble?<\/h3>\n<p>Freshly squeezed orange juice is a nice accompaniment to this cheesy egg skillet. One medium orange yields 1\/4 to 1\/3 cup of juice. To extract the most juice, roll the orange on the countertop with your palm a few times before squeezing. You could also serve it alongside a fresh fruit salad or bread basket with pastries and croissants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One weekend morning, my husband and I were craving a breakfast without the traditional sausage or bacon.
