Notes

  • Leftover pulled pork, brisket, or barbecue chicken works great in this recipe.
  • Use hash browns, roasted potatoes, or sweet potatoes for variety.
  • Add black beans, corn, or jalapeños for a Southwestern twist.
  • Cook scrambled eggs over medium-low heat to keep them soft and fluffy.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
  • Freezing is not recommended as eggs may become watery after thawing.
