Storage and Reheating Notes
Keep cooked eggs refrigerated and use hard-boiled eggs within a week, peeled eggs within 3 to 4 days. Marinated eggs keep 3 to 4 days in their brine in a sealed container. Store meal-prep components separately when possible and combine just before eating for the best texture. Always transport egg-based meals with an ice pack.
