  1. Hi K, honestly they never last long enough at my house to freeze!! :) Egg dishes like this can be frozen: let them cool completely, then freeze in an air-tight freezer container. You can reheat straight from the freezer at 400 degrees on a cookie sheet, for 5-10 minutes. They can stay frozen for 2-3 months, but if you’re going to keep them frozen longer than a week or so I would transfer them to an airtight re-sealable freezer zip bag once they have frozen (takes less space in your freezer and probably has a better seal).
