Ingredients
What you need:
- the freshest eggs (make sure they’re clean)
- muffin tin
- fork (for whisking)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- plastic wrap (for use during freezing)
- freezer safe containers or freezer bags
Note: If you know that you are going to use your eggs for sweet recipes, you can use 1/8 teaspoon of sugar instead of salt.
Another note: You can freeze one egg or many. It’s up to you!
Instructions
- Make sure your muffin pan is clean and dry. I lined my muffin tin with silicone baking cups, but you don’t have to. Break an egg into each muffin cup. Continue on until each muffin cup is filled with one egg each.
- Add 1/8 teaspoon salt to each egg in the muffin tin. If you know that you are going to use your eggs for sweet recipes, you can add 1/8 teaspoon of sugar instead of salt (make sure to mark it on your freezer container so you know if you’ve used salt or sugar).
- Using your fork, gently whisk each egg just until it is beaten. Don’t over-whisk the egg.
- Using freezer-safe plastic wrap, cover the whole muffin tin and freeze in the freezer preferably overnight.
- Once your eggs are completely frozen, remove each individual egg from the muffin pan and put them into a freezer safe container or zip-top freezer bags. It’s fine to put them together in one bag once they’re completely frozen. Push the air out of the container or freezer bag, and seal.
- Using a marker, label your eggs and date them so you know when you put them in the freezer. According to the experts, they are good frozen in the freezer for 6 months.
Notes
How to Thaw Frozen Eggs
You will want to pull the eggs that you need for thawing the night before – and thaw overnight in a bowl in the refrigerator.
What if you forget to thaw the eggs overnight and you need to use them for a recipe?
No problem. Just pull the eggs that you need from the freezer, seal them in a sealed zipper bag, and run them under cold water until thawed.
Note: Be sure that you don’t refreeze eggs that were previously frozen.
