Can you freeze Eggs?
Mark E.
Yes, you can freeze eggs, but how you do it depends on whether they are raw or cooked:
Raw Eggs
- Whole Eggs (without shell): Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat until mixed, and then pour into an airtight container or ice cube trays for portioning.
- Egg Whites: Separate whites from yolks and freeze in an airtight container or ice cube trays.
- Egg Yolks: If freezing yolks alone, mix them with a pinch of salt or sugar to prevent them from thickening.
❌ Do NOT freeze eggs in their shells – the liquid expands and can cause the shell to crack.
Cooked Eggs
- Scrambled eggs freeze well.
- Hard-boiled eggs: Whites can become rubbery, but yolks freeze fine if stored properly.
Frozen eggs should be used within 12 months for best quality. When using frozen eggs, thaw them overnight in the fridge before cooking. 🥚❄️
