Place the bag or container back in the freezer. Eggs can be stored this way for up to 12 months.
How to Use Frozen Eggs
Thawing:
Transfer the desired number of frozen egg cubes to the refrigerator and let them thaw overnight.
For quicker thawing, place the cubes in a bowl of cold water for 15–20 minutes.
Cooking:
Use thawed eggs as you would fresh ones in recipes like omelets, scrambled eggs, baking, or sauces.
Tips for Freezing Eggs
Label Clearly: Note the number of eggs per cube or tray compartment to avoid guessing later.
Separate Whites and Yolks: If specific recipes require only whites or yolks, separate them before freezing.
Add Sugar or Salt (Optional): Add a pinch of sugar or salt to whisked eggs before freezing to prevent texture changes, depending on whether they’ll be used for sweet or savory dishes.
What Not to Do
Don’t Freeze Eggs in the Shell: Freezing whole eggs with shells can cause the shells to crack, leading to a mess and potential contamination.
Avoid Refreezing Thawed Eggs: Once thawed, eggs should be used immediately and not refrozen.
