How long does an omelet keep in the fridge?

An omelet, like most cooked eggs, doesn't keep well in the fridge for very long.

Here's why:

* Bacteria growth: Cooked eggs are a breeding ground for bacteria, especially if left at room temperature for too long.

* Texture changes: The texture of an omelet will become rubbery and less desirable after being refrigerated.

It's best to consume an omelet within 3-4 days of making it. Keep it stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

For longer storage, consider freezing your omelet. Freeze it flat in a freezer-safe bag or container, and it can last for up to 3 months.

Important note: While you can technically freeze omelets, the texture will change upon thawing. It's best to thaw the omelet in the fridge overnight and reheat it gently in the microwave or oven.
