Yesterday, I took the time to make a big breakfast for my family since we all a day off. I ended up with leftover scrambled eggs, and I decided to ask my Facebook friends for some clever ways to use leftover scrambled eggs. As they always do when I ask them for food ideas, they came up with some great suggestions.

Egg salad. The recipe is chopped scrambled eggs, Mayo, some dry mustard powder, green onion, salt and pepper and a little celery seed. It was actually pretty tasty. (from Dawn)
Add it to fried rice (from MNN’s parenting blogger Jenn)
Put them on an English muffin and top with crabmeat and hollandaise sauce (from Tara)
Mix them with sautéed onions and peppers and put on a crusty roll (also from Tara)
Breakfast burrito - Stir in some salsa and shredded cheese and reheat. Roll it up in a tortilla. I wrap it in aluminum foil for a to-go meal in the car. (from Marianne)
Make breakfast sandwiches on English muffins with cheese, bacon bits/ham/sausage, and veggies, then you can wrap and freeze for quick breakfasts (Lisa from Snappy Gourmet)
Make scrambled egg tacos or burritos. Use the eggs in place of meat, and top with your favorite toppings. (Jennifer from Down Home South Jersey).
Breakfast pizzas or calzones--nice with cheddar and cooked onion, ham, whatever you have. (Angela from Seasonal and Savory)
