Freezing
To freeze an egg omelette, allow it to cool completely. Wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. This method helps prevent freezer burn and preserves quality for up to 1-2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat gently in a skillet or oven for best results. Freezing may slightly alter the texture, making it a bit more crumbly upon reheating.
Signs of Spoilage
- A sour or sulfurous odor emanating from the omelette.
- A slimy or sticky texture on the surface.
- Visible mold growth, which can appear as fuzzy spots of various colors.
