Do eggs and oats keep well in the fridge?

For bulk cooking. If I wanted to make a few omelets or make scrambled eggs the night before or a few days in advance, do those last well? Or does it taste weird (texture?)? I need to speed up my breakfast cooking now that I"m in school again!

And oats, how do you do overnight oats without it coming out soggy??

    I just made scrambled eggs. It took about two minutes. I would not eat scrambled eggs that are a day or two old, because they lose all their fluffyness and the freshly made taste. I would definitely try and find the five minutes ( which it might take if you have to chop onions and veggies, which I do every two days ) in my busy schedule and make and then enjoy those freshly scrambled eggs....with a nice cup of coffee of course...:o).

    I prefer omelets though... I guess I'll sacrifice my preference on weekdays and make them scrambled :p I'll have to start ingredient prepping again though, it will probably speed up the whole process!

    You can always do a batch of hardboiled eggs, they are perfect when you are on the go too.

    For overnight oats, make sure you are not using quick oats. I use steel cut or just regular rolled oats, add water, almond milk or whatever you prefer to just cover them. Add cinnamon, vanilla extract, honey, nuts, raisins, or frozen fruit on top and just let it sit overnight. One of my favorite combos is frozen peaches, cinnamon and honey. In the morning, add a little more liquid if needed, and throw it in the microwave. I have never had an issue with too soggy oats. Maybe use less liquid? You can always add more later.

    I make frittatas all the time with lots of veggies , eggs and some cheese . After baking they keep very well for a few days in fridge . Great for quick breakfast or lunch .

    I think you should keep the eggs in their container (the shell) fresh, boiled or otherwise in the fridge.
    That said, I'm still alive after having eaten scrambled type eggs that I froze and ate a month later.
    YMMV

    Just wanted to second this. It's like making a giant omelet in the oven. You can also make them in muffin tins so they are cute :laugh:
