How do I store leftover Herb-Infused Scrambled Eggs with Sautéed Mushrooms?

Can I substitute ingredients in Herb-Infused Scrambled Eggs with Sautéed Mushrooms?

How do I scale Herb-Infused Scrambled Eggs with Sautéed Mushrooms for a different number of people?
The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
