Enjoy your delicious egg casserole for longer by storing it properly. This versatile dish, often packed with vegetables, cheese, and meats, can be a breakfast or brunch favorite for days when refrigerated.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer.

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F). For optimal freezer storage, aim for -18°C (0°F).

Freezing

Egg casseroles freeze exceptionally well, making them perfect for meal prep. Allow the casserole to cool completely before portioning it into airtight containers or wrapping individual servings tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. To thaw, transfer the frozen casserole to the refrigerator overnight and reheat gently in the oven or microwave until heated through. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of some ingredients, particularly vegetables, but the flavor will remain robust.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off smell emanating from the casserole.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the surface.
• Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy spots of various colors.
