I did it!
Was looking to make some cheese, egg, potato breakfast burritos but didn't want to splurge for freeze dried eggs. So...
1. Scrambled them "dry" in a ceramic skillet.
2. Chopped them into small pieces.
3. Put into drier until hard.
I rehydrated a sample chunk last night and, while I would send it back at a restaurant, it was quite passable - especially for this application. A little rubbery, like eggs that sit under a heat lamp (for quite a while) but in a burrito they will be just fine and give the protein I am looking for.
I can't say I would take them on a backpack trip to the Canyon but in Colorado temps I think they will be just fine, especially on the first night(s) out.
