What should I do with leftovers containing eggs?
Promptly refrigerate any leftovers containing eggs. Thoroughly reheat leftovers to an internal temperature of 165°F. Eat leftovers within two to three days. Without tasting them, discard any egg-containing leftovers that have been refrigerated for more than three days.
A good resource to help manage leftovers is the USDA FoodKeeper app. This application provides food storage information and enables alerts to be set up to contact you before food spoils.
