MAKE-AHEAD SCRAMBLED EGGS

If you’re making Oven Scrambled Eggs for a holiday, or for another busy morning, you can cut down on the time it takes by making them in advance. You’ll just cook the eggs according to the recipe the night before. Then let the eggs cool before covering them and putting them in the fridge. The next morning, you only need to cook them for a few minutes to warm through.

The only problem is, because of the extra cook time the eggs could dry out. To ensure your eggs stay fluffy, despite the extra time in the oven, you can try using heavy cream to replace the milk in the recipe. Also make sure you always stir the Oven Scrambled Eggs right before serving to help fluff them up.
