you poured that scrambled egg from that bowl into the pan so well, I was waiting for it to go everywhere like I would have end up doing. All very good ideas!!
I just love you! Thank you. Just got 48 eggs and didn’t know what to do with them during this coved crisis. I’ve already hard boiled some, made egg salad and even tuna salad. Your suggestions are fabulous thank you so much 😊
You can freeze 2 whisked raw eggs in a Ziploc bag. Get out as much air as possible and freeze them laying flat. Most recipes in baking need an even number of eggs & you'll know each little bag has 2. They're only 1/4" or less thick when frozen & you can stand them on end like filing them so they take very little space up in the freezer.
I just found your videos and had to comment on this was to use eggs up. Before retiring and I had the chickens I would make angel food cakes to freeze (using the whites) and pound cakes to use up the yolks. They both took exactly 12 eggs each. Very nice treats for the winter months, I'd use my frozen strawberries over the top.
I wish that I had seen this before I tried the ice cube tray idea!! 3 websites assured me they would fit, but 8 eggs filled the 12, and very messily! But I have made mini quiche, no crust, with turkey bacon, spinach, onion, garlic, seasonings,12 eggs, a bit of milk and cheese, baked in 2 large muffin pans, great taste, easy to thaw! Thanks for the ideas!
OMG....you just made my baking life in the winter so much better. Thank you for this tutorial, you're great at it. Please keep making videos. Blessings.
+I’m trying to buy & keep stuff healthy to eat during this “stay-cation” from Coronavirus & didn’t know what to do with my eggs so I am so egg-cited to watch this video....Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 😁🙋🏻
Great ideas! Thank you! My husband and I are retired and the only 2 living in our home. We have 14 chickens (9 hens and 5 roosters) and get 8-9 eggs per day. They started laying on December 31, 2020 and have not stopped yet. We have been giving them away to neighbors and at church. This is very helpful to us to know how to handle an excess of eggs. Thanks again! (By the way, we are going to cull down our roosters.} We had bought 6 Dominique unsexed chickens with the hope of getting A rooster but instead, got 5 roosters and one hen. LOL
Fantastic!! I never thought about that, and I am a firm believer in if they sell it in the freezer section in cardboard it can be done at home. Never had a good frozen breakfast sandwich or breakfast burrito...but that is going to change!! Thanks Sarah!!!
Hey, stumbled across your channel and love what you're doing. 2 words for you. "Scotch Eggs". Basicly a partly boiled egg, wrapped in pork sausage, breaded in the traditional flower, egg wash, bread crumb, I bake mine but it's traditionally deep fired. Eaten hot or cold for breakfast, snack, or any time you're hungry. I used them for a rushed morning, reach into the fridge, pop into the toaster oven, go out to walk the dog, come back to a breakfast I can take on the road. Perfect for picnics, fishing, hunting or camping trips. Kids love them, seasoning is whatever works for you. Sausage can be anything you like. (italian sausage is a bit to greasy for me), I make my own sausage, and do honey and garlic, or a mix of that and a traditional english banger. It's so good your doctor is going to get mad with you. I'm starting to experiment where, in the prep process, is the best to freeze them. If I want stuff to last, I vacuum seal stuff. One kitchen tool I wish a bought decades before. Keep posting your stuff!
Sarah, I freeze my eggs as well. I discovered that you could do that by accident. I collected eggs when it was below zero and they were already frozen. The eggs did have a crack in them but did not explode. I thawed one as an experiment. I put it on a dish and let it thaw completely then I fried it and it was perfect. I didn't think it would be any good or would fall apart in the skillet. It didn't. You could not tell the difference between a fresh egg and the frozen one. So I do freeze mine in the shell when I get too many. Oh, I love your channel.
Do you just put them in the freezer in the cardboard tray you store them in (or in my case buy them in) Kevin? You don't tap a hole anywhere near the top or encourage a little crack in the shells before you place them in the freezer? And how do you A) Store them once they're frozen, & B) Defrost them? Is it easy enough to crack the shell without getting loads of bits in the albumen. I'm fed up with throwing out eggs that I forget about and fully Free Range are NOT cheap over here. I always intend to do the silicone muffin tin thing but then forget about it again, but if I could just stick the whole box in the freezer there & then, I'd both save myself a fortune and always have eggs on hand, or at least just a 'defrost time' away. Lol. Would appreciate your advice.
@@essemsween818 Just freeze them, shell and all. In the carton if you wish but I do put my in plastic bags. The eggs will get a crack in them, no big deal. When you need eggs, take out what you need and put them on the counter on a plate. When room temp, use them. It really is that simple.
Hi I'm Becky from Ohio. New to your channel and I love it. Getting so many ideas. I am going to do these egg tips! Along with the world I am sheltering in place during the pandemic. We just got a big freezer and are stocking up so we don't have to go out too much. Stay safe and healthy!!!
I find that putting parchment paper or wax paper between each one before freezing works great to get them apart. I have containers that fit homemade hamburgers that I do this with also.
What a timely video! I was just wondering what I was going to do with all the eggs my girls were giving me. I give some to elderly people, but I still have way more than I can use. Thanks for sharing!
That's great info, thank you! I was thinking as you were placing the eggs into the muffin tin, that you could also, separate the eggs first, for those recipes that call for only yolks, or only egg whites. Awesome!!
i make breakfast casserole with all the things we like such as bacon, sausage, sweet peppers, mushrooms, onions, tater tots cheese and milk. we cook in silicone bar s let them cool then pop them out to cool. we put 2 in snack baggies and then all of those in a gallon freezer bag to freeze. works out great for all of us when we are going in different directions with our service dogs or to take fishing with us. thanks for the tips...love them. keep videos coming, they relly help right now
Thank you Sarah, these are such great ideas! I would like to add one suggestion for your video. Buy a vacuum machine and when the eggs are frozen, and you take them out of the pans, place and arrange them into a vacuum bag, suction and seal them, and then back into your freezer. The vacuum sealer is great for Kevins fish and wild game meats, as well as, any of your Homestead preserves. Thanks for Listening and God Bless
You rock I love your videos I’m a sneaking homesteader in the middle of a city and your videos always help your the go to thank you for all you both do
I am old enough to be your mama and I always think I pretty much no it all and have done it all and yet I still learn many many things from you and also from your hubby.. Makes me wish I could do it all again but some of your tips I can use right now... Only the best wishes for you and your husband and girls..
We use cast iron daily also, love your videos. My wife has a favorite Javlin ( made in Quebec, Canada1940's) cast iron skillet, inside cook surface is smooth a babies bottom, nothing sticks, egg slide out easily, keep having fun, God Bless
Great ideas, thank you😊 I use silicone molds to freeze, then place in individual fold over sand bags, then into a gallon zip lock bag, then place in freezer; they will not stick to each other😉
My family and I have already been regular subscribers but somehow missed this gem! How neat that you were who popped up in my search results on "what to do with extra eggs". Thank you Sarah!
Preserving eggs without electricity would be my favourite method. Another UA-cam channel tested preservation methods from the 18th and 17th century, especially methods for preserving eggs. The best method was laying the eggs in a ceramic vessel with a saturated solution of slaked lime (Calciumhydroxide). The eggyolk became a little bit unstable as time went by, but the eggs were still absolutely fresh after 8 MONTHS. You could use them for baking and cooking. So maybe you consider to buy a pot of Calcium hydroxide for times when no electricity is available. The USA often have got blackouts.
My house is wired to the grid. However, all my out buildings, including my big freezer, are run by free solar and wind, unlimited energy. I use the typical marine batteries for storage. But, with all the EV car battery packs that will become available with 40-70% capacity left, I hope to get one or two in the next 5 years, since they will last longer. I just wish I was next to a creek for hydro. However, I am one property away. In a pinch I have extra generators so I can offer my neighbor to wire one for him and one for me from his creek. With hundreds of millions of motors, generators, and alternators around, electricity is here to stay, even after an EMP attack.
I am going to freeze my eggs from now on. I live on my own and don't have chickens, but i do buy freerange and organic and they are eggspensive, so i am going get my muffin tray out to save them and use them as i need them. I will take Carol Avant's advice and vac seal them. Thanks so much for this and all your informative video's.
Another great informative video. I had so many eggs this last summer I could not give them away. This will be a great way for me to save them. I do feed some of the extras to the girls as a treat but it will be really nice be able to eat them ourselves in fall and winter. I also plan to try waterglass eggs after watching an older video from Carolyn at Homesteading Family. Thanks Sarah!
Your egg ideas will be awesome for camping time. Or kids for morning breakfast before school. Not just winter. Thanks so much . Great tutorial. Hugs and God Bless You,
Hi. Love your videos. Quick question. I thawed some frozen eggs that were done in muffin tins today and used them. The yolk is a bit gelatinous and so it comes out chunky when you cook it - not idea for most recipes. Is there something special I need to do when I thaw them? Also, you should crack your eggs on a flat surface, never an 'edge.' Cracking them on a flat surface like the countertop cracks the shell without pushing up bits of shell into the egg. Less egg shells in things...
Awsome idea fore the eggs. I plan on having lots of chickens next year and i wondered, what if i cant sell off the extra. ? Now i know what i can do . Pretty cool. Thanks your shaving. Love watching your videos as usual. God bless you and your Homestead (-:
Eggscellent video...Just a BRILLIANT way to store eggs. Love you all and May God Bless You n Yours And Your Beautiful Homested. You keep me motivated to keep canning and working toward more self sufficiency. Planning a garden for next spring. And want to get a few chickens. Everyone has them up in the NORTH GEORGIA MOUNTAINS. Many chicken farms here. And Tyson Chicken Plant. My Son is going to build me a coop. He just built 2 for a friend of ours. I love farm fresh eggs. So much more tastier and better for you. Thanks for sharing. 💖👩🌾🐓🐤🐣🌿🌾🌻
You can also preserve your eggs by keeping them in hydrated lyme. There is a video on You Tube about it. I would suggest you look into that as well. You preserve them whole, in the shell and they are supposedly just like having fresh eggs and last for one or up to two years. I am definitely going to try that this year when I have too many eggs to use up. Thanks for your videos, I have learned a lot from them! I will try a couple of these methods as well.
Thank you so much there are people that say you can’t use eggs afte the first day not in the fridge not in the freezer you validated that you can thank you so much for all your ideas they help so many of us !!!!!!
Thanks for yet another set of useful ideas. May I add that Frittata, Quiche, some casseroles & crepes are dishes which use a lot of eggs each, & freeze well. Now I'm wondering about freezing hard boiled, peeled eggs. Would egg salad freeze well, or would the Mayo break/separate? I have considered using my muffin tins for making individual portions of frittata, as you can distribute in equal portions: veggies, meats ( if using) & cheeses in each cup, & then ladle in equal amounts of the egg, milk & seasonings mixture to each cup. That might be a good way to use the cast iron pan you used in this vid, too, Sarah. I suspect that you usually make things in large batches, so that attractive pan has been one you've rarely if ever used before., so it got me thinking...how would I use it? It might be a cool item to bake in, then to see it on the brunch table, used as a serving dish too. I can see it with an individual frittata or quiche portion, a scone or shallow muffin. Maybe some kind of a tart - a fruit filling in a pie crust, or a mini pecan pie, or between crusts, for small pies!
thanks for the good info. now i have some for everyone that has not tried the ball jam and jelly maker i got one and it was the best thing i could have gotten. you really need to try this out it is so easy and fast to use it only took me 25 mins. to make 5 1/2 half pints of grape jelly and it is a 4 ingredient recipe. i really like my ball jelly maker.
I have to admit, I tried the ice cube tray method...the eggs were much larger with whites than the little ice cubes spaces... I did 24 eggs!!! Ok, now what to do??? Well...I have made crockpot eggs before, but your idea of scrambling and freezing individual portions is great! I thawed out the 24 eggs...scrambled in the blender..put in crock pot, added a lb. of sausage that I had already fried up, 2 cups of grated cheese and a bag of frozen hashbrowns...cooked on high to get going and then put on low - maybe 5 hrs total...had tortillas and stuffed each and rolled and wrapped and put in freezer...saved me losing 2 dozen eggs..., love the dozen muffin tins...that is needed as ice cube trays just don't cut it...but for just the two of us here...we have 8 young laying hens...that's 8 eggs a day...most folks already raise chickens and can't give them away...so love these ideas, thank you so much for all that you all do in your videos!
I take two dozen eggs, some milk, vanilla and cinnamon and mix it all up for French toast batter. Then I take loaves of Texas toast, dunk, bake on a large electric skillet and let them cool. The finished French toast can go back into the loaf bag to be frozen, or freezer bags. My kids love these as a quick and easy breakfast. They’ve discovered you can put the frozen pieces in a toaster and it’ll get them to the perfect temperature without making them soggy like the microwave tends to do. :)
Thanks for your videos I am new to your channel and I have been learning so much from y'all the only thing I can recommend for eggs is to eat them , I don't live own a farm , I just buy my eggs from the store I don't get alot cause I don't use alot , eggs are high in cholesterol and not really good for you at all even though I like baking with them , eggs makes your food taste good and hold together well too.
Also to make sure your eggs are fresh you can put the eggs in a bowl of water and if any float that means it is bad. That was a good tip handed down to me.
Love this video. I had no idea you could freeze eggs. Ive never cooked in the oven for breakfast sandwiches but will try it. How long do they keep in the freezer? Thank you.
Really smart ideas. I may just do them all. I don't have my own chickens yet, but the neighbors do, and when they get overrun they almost force eggs on us! That gallon coconut oil is an absolute steal!! I'll definitely be getting that in the future. Thanks for sharing this jam-packed video!!
Awesome video and just in time I have like 12 dozen sitting in my fridge at this moment. I never thought about freezing the already cooked eggs sounds like easy breakfasts. Thank you Peace & Love
I use muffin cups in the muffin tins and I can freeze them right in the paper muffin cups. I then vacuum seal them 2 per bag or seal a bag in half with an egg in each section. They work well! Good work letting us know what you do.
I like to make quiche to freeze. It works great. Prep whatever you want in your quiche (bacon, ham, spinach, cheese, ANYTHING) put in pie crust. then scramble 8-10 eggs in a bowl and pour on top. Use saran wrap to wrap it up and then ton foil over that. Then freeze- yes freeze without baking. Once frozen, I usually pop two into a 2 gallon freezer bag to last longer without freezer burn. I label the foil with what type of quiche it is. When ready- bake 350* for about an hour! So easy and it uses a whole bunch of eggs.
I never knew this and I raised chickens holy smokes.. I never knew eggs could freeze ...Genius! Sarah Thank You God Bless my friend I can’t stay wasting anything
I freeze them in seal-a-meal bags I'll make just the right size for 1 or 2 eggs. We also love a crustless quiche. It's great both just made and reheated
I love the egg muffin sandwich idea. I have the BIG muffin pans that will work for that. I love your cast iron one though. Im a cast iron junky... so now i have another piece to my list i NEED. ha ha. There is like 4 pieces i think i need. LOL Great idea also for the burritos. I make up burritos and freeze them and they are so awesome to have on hand. I also did that with tamales, but they only lasted a week ha ha ha. Something about home made stuff ! Always goes much faster !
Awesome and helpful ideas Sara!! When we have extras I scramble them and feed them back to my chickens. They go NUTS over them and it's a super good protein source. As far as freezing, I have never had good luck with that (they are rubbery after thawing) so I am looking forward to trying out some of your ideas!! Thanks 🐣
Crazy Drake's Crazy Life ive seen the rubbery yolk statement a few times here. Is that w a raw or cooked egg? I like to freeze raw ive not made an over easy egg w those but theyre great for scrambling or baking.
We scramble eggs, sometimes adding chopped ham and cheese, and then FREEZE DRY it, Vacu-seal portions and store in 5 gallon containers with tight tops. Will last twenty years! Love you ideas about whole eggs in the muffin pan...will use that, too.
my parents used to buy 2 or 3 cases of eggs, and put 6 or 7 eggs to a freezer container (stirred up ). We had scrambled eggs all winter. This was the early 60's.
Sarah you are just a head full of idea's, I don't have chicken's but I will be doing this for when I am not feeling good in the morning and my husband has never cooked, he can't fix an egg or well maybe he can make toast in the toaster, but his limitations of standing is about 3 to 5 min due to spinal cord injury from surgery, so I really like freezing the egg's whole in the muffin pan, also the egg for egg muffins. and I have never cooked with coconut whatever it is, and was wondering if you could taste the coconut ??? what a brainstorm of idea's you are, still looking for your diced canned tomatoes.... thank's for all the idea's Nicky in Michigan
Sarah oh my gosh go to Homestead family this lady water jars her fresh eggs. I was like no way!!!!!! You can preserve fresh eggs in water and a lime canning mixture that has been know to preserve fresh uncooked eggs for up to two years... no joke.. yes way.. people used this method when there was no electricity.... its crazy... you turned me on to Homestead recipes now I'm finding so many cool and easy ways to preserve food. Always love watching u..
i had used your advice and froze some and i am dehydrating them also. it takes so much less space as powder in a jar vacuum sealed. i just scramble them and put them in the dehydrator till hard and process to powder.
Ice cube tray only works for separating them. Whites in one and yolks in another. That great for recipes that call for yolks or whites but not both. I do a few that way for those recipes but the rest I use muffin pans but I use the silicone muffin tins so I can push them out easy.
Careful with this, each dog is different. Eggs make my dog REALLY sick, she bloats up like a Macy's day Parade balloon and the subsequent farts can kill a grown man at 50 yards.
I crack one egg into each ramekin, pierce the yolks with a sharp knife, and bake them at 350 for 15 - 20 minutes. They fit perfectly onto an English Muffin with a slice of American cheese and a slice of Canadian bacon. I freeze the assembled "McMuffins" on a parchment lined cookie sheet before individually wrapping them in plastic wrap and sealing them up in a gallon freezer Ziploc baggie. To eat: We unwrap the sandwiches, "open them up" into two halves, place them on a lined cookie sheet, and bake them from frozen in a 350 oven for about 15 - 20 minutes or just until heated through. They can also be microwaved, but we prefer them from the oven.
I take and wrap my eggs in plastic wrap real tight and freeze in the egg carton. I don't have my cown chickens, wish I did. But I buy a load when they are on sale. I just bought a bunch of cartons for .49¢ a dozen. So I freeze most of them. Thaw out what I need and it's just like a fresh eggs, perfect! BTW I love your show, I live my dream through you two, love you guys. God Bless 🙏 and thanks for sharing💞

I use silicone cupcake holders that I found at walmart. don't have to use any kind of oil that way. they just pop out
Ooooh, great idea!
Me too
Saw that on Homestead Heart channel, too.
Me too. Works great. 👍
Yep silicone cup cake cups...
I learned that from another girl I watch canning....works soo good.

That's great info, thank you! I was thinking as you were placing the eggs into the muffin tin, that you could also, separate the eggs first, for those recipes that call for only yolks, or only egg whites. Awesome!!
When you thaw the eggs out, the white thaws first, so it is really easy to seperate them then, with no risk of breaking the yolk :)

But, with all the EV car battery packs that will become available with 40-70% capacity left, I hope to get one or two in the next 5 years, since they will last longer. I just wish I was next to a creek for hydro. However, I am one property away. In a pinch I have extra generators so I can offer my neighbor to wire one for him and one for me from his creek.
With hundreds of millions of motors, generators, and alternators around, electricity is here to stay, even after an EMP attack.
You are so awesome, didn't know you could freeze eggs like this. Thanks 💜
These are great ideas even for a bachelor like me with no chickens!
I am going to freeze my eggs from now on. I live on my own and don't have chickens, but i do buy freerange and organic and they are eggspensive, so i am going get my muffin tray out to save them and use them as i need them. I will take Carol Avant's advice and vac seal them. Thanks so much for this and all your informative video's.
What a great way to do up eggs. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for all the ideas about saving eggs or storing them. I never knew you could freeze eggs. Or that they would be good after they were froze.
Another great informative video. I had so many eggs this last summer I could not give them away. This will be a great way for me to save them. I do feed some of the extras to the girls as a treat but it will be really nice be able to eat them ourselves in fall and winter. I also plan to try waterglass eggs after watching an older video from Carolyn at Homesteading Family. Thanks Sarah!
Your egg ideas will be awesome for camping time. Or kids for morning breakfast before school. Not just winter. Thanks so much . Great tutorial. Hugs and God Bless You,
Best. Video. Ever. Learned sooooo much. Thank you!
Hi. Love your videos. Quick question. I thawed some frozen eggs that were done in muffin tins today and used them. The yolk is a bit gelatinous and so it comes out chunky when you cook it - not idea for most recipes. Is there something special I need to do when I thaw them? Also, you should crack your eggs on a flat surface, never an 'edge.' Cracking them on a flat surface like the countertop cracks the shell without pushing up bits of shell into the egg. Less egg shells in things...
Awsome idea fore the eggs. I plan on having lots of chickens next year and i wondered, what if i cant sell off the extra. ? Now i know what i can do . Pretty cool. Thanks your shaving. Love watching your videos as usual. God bless you and your Homestead (-:
Really glad to know you can freeze eggs. Sometime you catch a good sale so I can buy extras. Thank you for sharing.
Those are really good ideas. We have that exact problem with to many eggs. Thank you very much for the idea.
This is completely new to me. Thanks!
Eggscellent video...Just a BRILLIANT way to store eggs.
Love you all and May God Bless You n Yours And Your
Beautiful Homested. You keep me motivated to keep canning and working toward more self sufficiency. Planning a garden for next spring. And want to get a few chickens. Everyone has them up in the NORTH GEORGIA MOUNTAINS. Many chicken farms here. And Tyson Chicken Plant. My Son is going to build me a coop. He just built 2 for a friend of ours. I love farm fresh eggs.
So much more tastier and better for you. Thanks for sharing. 💖👩🌾🐓🐤🐣🌿🌾🌻
You can also preserve your eggs by keeping them in hydrated lyme. There is a video on You Tube about it. I would suggest you look into that as well. You preserve them whole, in the shell and they are supposedly just like having fresh eggs and last for one or up to two years. I am definitely going to try that this year when I have too many eggs to use up. Thanks for your videos, I have learned a lot from them! I will try a couple of these methods as well.
Thank you so much there are people that say you can’t use eggs afte the first day not in the fridge not in the freezer you validated that you can thank you so much for all your ideas they help so many of us !!!!!!
Love your channel Sarah! Thank You for this video!👍
Thanks for yet another set of useful ideas. May I add that Frittata, Quiche, some casseroles & crepes are dishes which use a lot of eggs each, & freeze well. Now I'm wondering about freezing hard boiled, peeled eggs. Would egg salad freeze well, or would the Mayo break/separate?
I have considered using my muffin tins for making individual portions of frittata, as you can distribute in equal portions: veggies, meats ( if using) & cheeses in each cup, & then ladle in equal amounts of the egg, milk & seasonings mixture to each cup. That might be a good way to use the cast iron pan you used in this vid, too, Sarah.
I suspect that you usually make things in large batches, so that attractive pan has been one you've rarely if ever used before., so it got me thinking...how would I use it?
It might be a cool item to bake in, then to see it on the brunch table, used as a serving dish too. I can see it with an individual frittata or quiche portion, a scone or shallow muffin. Maybe some kind of a tart - a fruit filling in a pie crust, or a mini pecan pie, or between crusts, for small pies!
thanks for the good info. now i have some for everyone that has not tried the ball jam and jelly maker i got one and it was the best thing i could have gotten. you really need to try this out it is so easy and fast to use it only took me 25 mins. to make 5 1/2 half pints of grape jelly and it is a 4 ingredient recipe. i really like my ball jelly maker.
I had no idea you could freeze eggs. Who knew!? Thanks for your video.
Cool info vid.
Watched & liked 💯
Scrambled, cooked, dehydrated, pulverized and vacuum sealed in air tight containers.
Great ideas, thanks for sharing.
I have to admit, I tried the ice cube tray method...the eggs were much larger with whites than the little ice cubes spaces... I did 24 eggs!!! Ok, now what to do??? Well...I have made crockpot eggs before, but your idea of scrambling and freezing individual portions is great! I thawed out the 24 eggs...scrambled in the blender..put in crock pot, added a lb. of sausage that I had already fried up, 2 cups of grated cheese and a bag of frozen hashbrowns...cooked on high to get going and then put on low - maybe 5 hrs total...had tortillas and stuffed each and rolled and wrapped and put in freezer...saved me losing 2 dozen eggs..., love the dozen muffin tins...that is needed as ice cube trays just don't cut it...but for just the two of us here...we have 8 young laying hens...that's 8 eggs a day...most folks already raise chickens and can't give them away...so love these ideas, thank you so much for all that you all do in your videos!
I take two dozen eggs, some milk, vanilla and cinnamon and mix it all up for
French toast batter. Then I take loaves of Texas toast, dunk, bake on a large electric skillet and let them cool. The finished French toast can go back into the loaf bag to be frozen, or freezer bags. My kids love these as a quick and easy breakfast. They’ve discovered you can put the frozen pieces in a toaster and it’ll get them to the perfect temperature without making them soggy like the microwave tends to do. :)
Thank you for sharing these ideas 💡 with us! I’m looking forward to doing the freezer idea! New subscriber from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for your videos I am new to your channel and I have been learning so much from y'all the only thing I can recommend for eggs is to eat them , I don't live own a farm , I just buy my eggs from the store I don't get alot cause I don't use alot , eggs are high in cholesterol and not really good for you at all even though I like baking with them , eggs makes your food taste good and hold together well too.
Also to make sure your eggs are fresh you can put the eggs in a bowl of water and if any float that means it is bad. That was a good tip handed down to me.
I have found that not to be true,& many times.
Exactly, that's false.
Some eggs have bigger air pockets than others, so they'll float even fresh
Love this video. I had no idea you could freeze eggs. Ive never cooked in the oven for breakfast sandwiches but will try it. How long do they keep in the freezer? Thank you.
Thanks for the great ideas for extra eggs for breakfast and other meals for fast and easy ideas
Great ideas!! Thanks! God Bless!
Such a handy video thank you, live in the city but if I ever see eggs reduced I can buy them, thanks x
Costco has a good price on eggs.
Really smart ideas. I may just do them all. I don't have my own chickens yet, but the neighbors do, and when they get overrun they almost force eggs on us!
That gallon coconut oil is an absolute steal!! I'll definitely be getting that in the future.
Thanks for sharing this jam-packed video!!
Awesome idea. I never knew you could freeze eggs. Definitely going to do this. Thanks Sarah.
I also didn't know you can freeze raw eggs! Great tips!
You can also dehydrate scrambled eggs and then put them in a blender for powdered eggs.
Awesome video and just in time I have like 12 dozen sitting in my fridge at this moment. I never thought about freezing the already cooked eggs sounds like easy breakfasts. Thank you Peace & Love
Fantastic ideas! Now I want to homestead! I’m adoptable too lol
I use muffin cups in the muffin tins and I can freeze them right in the paper muffin cups. I then vacuum seal them 2 per bag or seal a bag in half with an egg in each section. They work well! Good work letting us know what you do.
I like to make quiche to freeze. It works great. Prep whatever you want in your quiche (bacon, ham, spinach, cheese, ANYTHING) put in pie crust. then scramble 8-10 eggs in a bowl and pour on top. Use saran wrap to wrap it up and then ton foil over that. Then freeze- yes freeze without baking. Once frozen, I usually pop two into a 2 gallon freezer bag to last longer without freezer burn. I label the foil with what type of quiche it is. When ready- bake 350* for about an hour! So easy and it uses a whole bunch of eggs.
I never knew this and I raised chickens holy smokes.. I never knew eggs could freeze ...Genius! Sarah Thank You God Bless my friend I can’t stay wasting anything
I freeze them in seal-a-meal bags I'll make just the right size for 1 or 2 eggs. We also love a crustless quiche. It's great both just made and reheated
Great Ideas for apartment dwellers who work and have a busy schedule just to make life easier
I love the egg muffin sandwich idea. I have the BIG muffin pans that will work for that. I love your cast iron one though. Im a cast iron junky... so now i have another piece to my list i NEED. ha ha. There is like 4 pieces i think i need. LOL Great idea also for the burritos. I make up burritos and freeze them and they are so awesome to have on hand. I also did that with tamales, but they only lasted a week ha ha ha. Something about home made stuff ! Always goes much faster !
Awesome and helpful ideas Sara!! When we have extras I scramble them and feed them back to my chickens. They go NUTS over them and it's a super good protein source. As far as freezing, I have never had good luck with that (they are rubbery after thawing) so I am looking forward to trying out some of your ideas!! Thanks 🐣
Crazy Drake's Crazy Life ive seen the rubbery yolk statement a few times here. Is that w a raw or cooked egg? I like to freeze raw ive not made an over easy egg w those but theyre great for scrambling or baking.
My sister cooks hers from frozen on medium heat and hasn't had the problem of rubbery yolks.
We scramble eggs, sometimes adding chopped ham and cheese, and then FREEZE DRY it, Vacu-seal portions and store in 5 gallon containers with tight tops. Will last twenty years! Love you ideas about whole eggs in the muffin pan...will use that, too.
my parents used to buy 2 or 3 cases of eggs, and put 6 or 7 eggs to a freezer container (stirred up ). We had scrambled eggs all winter. This was the early 60's.
I love your cooking and food prep videos
Sarah you are just a head full of idea's, I don't have chicken's but I will be doing this for when I am not feeling good in the morning and my husband has never cooked, he can't fix an egg or well maybe he can make toast in the toaster, but his limitations of standing is about 3 to 5 min due to spinal cord injury from surgery, so I really like freezing the egg's whole in the muffin pan, also the egg for egg muffins. and I have never cooked with coconut whatever it is, and was wondering if you could taste the coconut ??? what a brainstorm of idea's you are, still looking for your diced canned tomatoes.... thank's for all the idea's Nicky in Michigan
Random question - how long do they take to freeze?
These are such great ideas!!!! I am going to definitely use them.
Sarah oh my gosh go to Homestead family this lady water jars her fresh eggs. I was like no way!!!!!! You can preserve fresh eggs in water and a lime canning mixture that has been know to preserve fresh uncooked eggs for up to two years... no joke.. yes way.. people used this method when there was no electricity.... its crazy... you turned me on to Homestead recipes now I'm finding so many cool and easy ways to preserve food. Always love watching u..
Where did you get the cast iron pan used with the scrambled eggs? I love cast iron!
I did not know you could freeze eggs i love your videos well be praying for you
Great ideas! Thank you for sharing! Blessings.
i had used your advice and froze some and i am dehydrating them also. it takes so much less space as powder in a jar vacuum sealed. i just scramble them and put them in the dehydrator till hard and process to powder.
The hydrated lime is pickling lime. One ounce lime per quart of filtered or distilled water. Eggs are fresh clean but not washed.
Rose Jafari Thanks
Wow what a nice and useful idea, thanks a lot
Ice cube tray only works for separating them. Whites in one and yolks in another. That great for recipes that call for yolks or whites but not both. I do a few that way for those recipes but the rest I use muffin pans but I use the silicone muffin tins so I can push them out easy.
I use ours to add to our homemade dog food :)
Careful with this, each dog is different. Eggs make my dog REALLY sick, she bloats up like a Macy's day Parade balloon and the subsequent farts can kill a grown man at 50 yards.
tony roy I’m interested in your dog food recipe.
@@tsarinaromanov2641 😂😂😂
@@rickross199 thanks :)
I love this idea! I passed it on to a friend who has chickens.
I crack one egg into each ramekin, pierce the yolks with a sharp knife, and bake them at 350 for 15 - 20 minutes. They fit perfectly onto an English Muffin with a slice of American cheese and a slice of Canadian bacon. I freeze the assembled "McMuffins" on a parchment lined cookie sheet before individually wrapping them in plastic wrap and sealing them up in a gallon freezer Ziploc baggie.
To eat: We unwrap the sandwiches, "open them up" into two halves, place them on a lined cookie sheet, and bake them from frozen in a 350 oven for about 15 - 20 minutes or just until heated through. They can also be microwaved, but we prefer them from the oven.
I take and wrap my eggs in plastic wrap real tight and freeze in the egg carton. I don't have my cown chickens, wish I did. But I buy a load when they are on sale. I just bought a bunch of cartons for .49¢ a dozen. So I freeze most of them. Thaw out what I need and it's just like a fresh eggs, perfect! BTW I love your show, I live my dream through you two, love you guys. God Bless 🙏 and thanks for sharing💞
Love these ideas and your pickling video. We are starting to get too many eggs
Thank you for these ideas! ❤️
