Combine combine eggs, hot sauce, and milk in a large bowl.

Notes
Storage: Fried okra should be placed in an airtight container or plastic freezer bag within two hours. Store in the refrigerator and consume within four days.Reheating: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place fried okra in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes until heated through.Freezing: I do not recommend freezing this recipe. Okra becomes watery and the texture changes after freezing and thawing.
