Notes

To Make Ahead: While eggs are best cooked right before serving, you can make a "kit" of prepped ham and veggies so that when you prepare the egg dish, it's quick and easy.

Freeze Extra for Later: We don't recommend that you freeze scrambled eggs, but you can freeze a kit of ham and veggies to make it quick and easy to prepare eggs later.

Serving Suggestions: Serve your Denver Scramble as you would other breakfast proteins or with a green salad or cooked vegetable with garlic bread or rolls on the side.

How to Make a Meal Prep: If need be, prep the egg scramble, cooking the eggs just a little less than you normally would and divide them into single-serve containers for meal prep. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.

Make a Plan for Leftovers: Leftover eggs can be reheated the next day. Promptly refrigerate leftovers and use within 3 days.
