Enjoy your delicious vegetable omelette for longer by storing it correctly. This versatile dish, packed with nutritious vegetables and fluffy eggs, can be a convenient meal prep option when handled with care.

Storage Time

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

To freeze a vegetable omelette, allow it to cool completely. Wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container to prevent freezer burn. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. Note that the texture may be slightly softer after freezing, especially for vegetables with high water content.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off smell, distinct from the usual eggy aroma.
• Slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the omelette.
• Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy spots of various colors.
