Notes
Storing leftovers: High protein omelettes are best enjoyed just after they've been cooked. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to about 2 days. The texture won't be as good when reheated, but the best way to reheat is in the microwave at 80% power in 15-second intervals until warm.
