Equipment we used to freeze eggs #aff:
9x13 Baking Pan amzn.to/425ShEm
1 large measuring pitcher (4-6 cup size) amzn.to/3S5ZYWf
1 Whisk amzn.to/3AVZLhw
12-24 Silicone cupcake holders amzn.to/3LWnRiv
2 Ice Cube Tray amzn.to/42mBBIp - we found ice cube trays to be difficult
Ingredients
Eggs
Pinch of salt per cupcake holder or ice cube
Instructions
In a bowl or a pitcher, crack your eggs.
Whisk the eggs until they are mixed well.
Prepare your silicone cupcake holders in a 9x13 cake pan to be close together. And make room in your freezer.
If you are not using the reusable cupcake holders, get your ice cube trays ready.
Pour the eggs into the cupcake holders or ice cube tray. Leave a little room for expansion.
If you are using these for baking, 1/4 cup is about the size of an egg, so add that much egg mix into each cupcake liner.
Place the scrambled eggs into the freezer and allow to freeze, over night is best.
Remove from the ice cube tray (you may need to run the tray under water to loosen the eggs, use caution when doing this if your ice cube tray does not have a top.
If you used the cupcake liners, you should be able to peel them out realitively easily.
Moving quicky as the eggs will start to thaw, place the eggs into a freezer bag, seal and freeze.
TO USE: Remove eggs from freezer and allow to thaw before use.

I have been freezing eggs for YEARS. I put a whole egg in a cupcake pan and put it in the freezer, once frozen I sit them in a pan of cool water for just a bit as they get loose, and put them in a heavy duty freezer bag...I can take them out one at a time or whatever. Never needed to do the cupcake deal and never needed to scramble them
That is great that you have found a way that works for you.
I stir a dozen eggs and spoon them in an ice cube tray and then into a large freezer bag. Easy.
So glad you have a process that allows you to freeze eggs.
Hello Regina, this was interesting and helpful. I never knew there were ice cubes with buttons on them. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
You are so welcome
We use the egg shells in the aquarium for our snails and shrimp, they love that calcium
That is a great idea! I didn't know shrimp liked them.
You can crush up and feed the egg shells back to the chickens as calcium and minerals for new eggs too.
Definitely! if we aren't putting them in the garden, they go to the chickens.
The egg shells are great to grind up in the blender and give them back to your chickens for extra calcium. Just an option. 😊
Yes! We alternate between the chickens and the garden for the egg shells.
I use a 12 ct. Silicone cupcake pan. Set the pan in a cookie sheet crack a whole egg or pour beaten eggs into each opening to about 3/4 full no need to use any cooking spray, place flat in freezer till solid then pop them out and quickly put them into foodsaver bags or just use ziploc bags and store in freezer
Thanks so much for sharing how you do it. So glad to hear others are freezing eggs too.
Thank you. I was wondering about freezing whole eggs instead of scrambled.
Just a suggestion. Use paper molds inside of the silicone molds, pour eggs, freeze, leave in paper molds, and foodsaver them. (Measure how many eggs are in one mold).
About 1/4 cup is 1 egg. So we try to fill to that level for 1 egg. For us, silicone is easier to use, but I like your idea about using a food saver unless we only need 2 eggs and have to keep resealing.
@ReginaSober
Thanks for the one egg measure. I don't know how many eggs at breakfast a single person eats in your family, but 2 at a setting sounds right. I just figured paper cups were cheaper than buying silicone. There are pint foodsaver bags you can use for breakfast serving if family all eat eggs at the same time. Or after freezing, remove the frozen eggs to the foodsaver bag. I reuse my veggie bags, hot water, wash, soap, and turn inside out to dry. I don't reuse my meat & egg bags, only veggie bags. Thanks again.
@@Chancey464 You can certainly give the paper cups a try. I think they are going to be a pain to try to remove from a frozen egg. The ease of use and reusability of the silicone would make the silicone cost worth it and we also use them for cupcakes and muffins.
@@ReginaSober I agree - paper cups are a pain-in-the-drain. Regina sure gave it her all when trying that. I use the silicone cupcake molds as well, then you can FoodSaver them. Recently, I've been using FoodSaver's new containers to store some small freezer items like this instead of plastic bags. My kids tend to not reseal the bags right. I also use my ice cube trays when I make hydroxychloroquine, or any fruit juice. Great for lots of things. Awesome video!
Thank you for showing me how to do this. I was unaware the liners needed a 1/4c, having grown up with my grandmother using her 1/3 c for cupcakes.
It depends on if you are getting medium, large or extra large eggs too. I took the egg we get the most of and measured to get the 1/4 cup..and it seemed like what might be in the store. But do what works for you.
What a brilliant idea thanks for sharing have a good weekend
Thanks Andrew. It helps out for sure to store eggs when you have extras!
Last year, I froze the eggs whole. What a mistake. They came out like hockey pucks. Were not useable for anything I needed them for. I do have the silicone muffin cups and will try again. I'll use my vacuum sealing bags to save space and hopefully prolong their life. Thank you for this video.
Oh no! That would be frustrating. Silicone muffin liners and a pan in your freezer will allow you to put more in at a time. Make sure they are in the freezer flat!
@@ReginaSober Thank you for your response! I will!
Hello dear friend
Woooow awesome fantastic video i enjoyed watching it you prepared this recipe very well thanks for awesome sharing
Thanks a lot. Appreciate you stopping by!
Very good
Thank you for stopping by.
I use a cupcake pan and spray a little Pam spray put the whole egg in the pan put in the freezer when frozen taaje them out vacume seal them and put back in the freezer. Thaw them out in frig and cook how ever you like. Yellow is in tack.
Sounds like you have a process down that works for you. Do you find the yolk to be fine when you eat them, or do you just use frozen eggs for baking?
@@ReginaSober they are just like fresh.
never thought of pam...I do it w/o pam...I bet using coconut oil would do, just never tried that, and been doing it for years.
@@savannahsmiles1797 Let me know how it works for you.
I really appreciate your hard work💕💕 have a wonderful weekend😍😍🙏🙏 thank you for sure this amazing video
So nice of you to say. Thank you for visiting!
Once they thaw, do you use them like a fresh egg? Scrambled or baking ect?
Yes, you can use them all those ways.
Love the idea but how can you do if you have a recepy that call for 1 egg or 2? How to mesure that😮
I can understand the concern. What I did to determine the size of an egg was I measured it out. How much was an average size egg (we have chickens so the sometimes are bigger or smaller). I took that egg, scrambled and added it to a cupcake liner. That told me how far it was to fill up the cupcake liner. It was also about the same as the line on the liner that they suggest you fill to for cupcakes.
So I just use that line as a gauge for 1 egg. Let me know if you need further help to figure it out.
@@ReginaSober thank you it was bugging me because I have to buy they eggs but you really exploiter it very well 😊
@@susanerinfret2605 Glad I could answer your question. Have a great rest of your week!
Thanks. I tried freezing eggs whole once. When I pulled them out the white was see through. I didn't really know if they'd be okay or not. Do you know? ( Id tossed them because they looked clear. ❤
I'm not sure about the egg yolks changing color. You may want to research. It could be oxidation, not sure.
I thought maybe put 1 egg container than whip and freeze.
Per container
@@dianag4025 You can definitely do it this way.
@@ReginaSober Thank you for your quick response.
How long can they remain in the freezer? 1 month?
The frozen eggs can stay in the freezer for up to a year, but for best taste/freshness, we recommend using within 4 months.
Can you freeze a whole egg instead of scrambled eggs?
I have not done this. From what I understand, the texture would be rubbery (If you just removed the shell and froze it).
You said add salt but I didn't see how much salt that you added.
You add a pinch per egg. Reach out if you have questions, or you can read the description on this video (if you can see it). :)
Ziploc bags with 2-3 eggs in each would be plenty easy.
Definitely can do a few in a bag too.
STAY with the silicone muffin cups because they are easy to push out.
I agree. I was trying to show different options, but my preference is definitely the silicone cups.
That ice tray method is a mess!
It was! It was even silicone and I had a heck of a time. I really prefer and still use the silicone cupcake liners instead.
