Always freeze eggs in the amount that you will use at one time. Use ice cube trays or muffin tins to portion the eggs out correctly. I use this conversion guide. If you have trouble removing the frozen eggs from the muffin tins or ice cube trays, simply sit the bottom of the trays in warm water for a few seconds, and they should slip right out. Plastic ice cube trays work best for this method. Clearly mark your freezer bags with the date one year from freezing to make sure you use your frozen eggs within the safety window.
So, can you freeze eggs? Now that you know how to freeze eggs, and just how simple it is, you most certainly should! This post is full of so much information on how to freeze eggs. Wow this sounds so simple and easy to fallow thank you for sharing. Last spring I froze cracked eggs into muffin tins and transferred them to vacuum seal bags and froze them.
I get the texture might not be optimal but is there any harm in thawing and cooking them up this way? I have egg on toast every day. If my baking recipes also require salt, can I add salt to all of them, then not needing to store separately? Or would that affect my baking? Hi Penny! I believe that the amount of salt you add for baking is less than the amount of salt for example in scramble eggs.
You can try adding salt to some eggs, freeze them and then bake a cake to see the taste, but remember that she said to add 1 teaspoon of salt for 1 cup of eggs.

Only freeze eggs which are fresh and in date; all British Lion Eggs are labelled with a best-before date stamp on each individual egg shell.
You may wish to freeze the whole egg or just the yolk or white, which we have explained below. When placing raw egg in containers before freezing, be sure to leave about a half-inch room for expansion. Make sure all containers are labelled with dates, volume of eggs used and detail of any other external ingredients for your future reference.
To freeze eggs whole, the white and yolk will need to be beaten together. Pour the contents into a container suitable for the freezer, label with the date, seal and freeze. Yes, you can freeze egg whites. For example, raw egg yolks may taste slightly sweet or salty depending on whether they were mixed with sugar or salt before freezing. Additionally, commercially frozen egg products may have added preservatives or other ingredients that could affect the taste. Freezing egg whites does not result in a noticeable change in taste or texture.
Contrarily, egg yolks take on a gel-like texture when frozen. To avoid this, egg yolks should be combined with salt, sugar, or egg whites prior to freezing. Additionally, cooked egg dishes like casseroles and quiches can be safely frozen. Raw eggs can be frozen for up to 12 months, while cooked egg dishes should be thawed and reheated within 2—3 months 1 , 2. To freeze whole eggs, start by cracking each egg into a mixing bowl, then gently whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. For food safety and convenience purposes, label each container with the date and number of whole eggs it contains before freezing. Place the yolks in a bowl and pour each individual egg white into an ice cube tray or another type of small freezer-safe container. To freeze egg yolks, start by cracking and separating the eggs, placing the egg whites in one container and the yolks in a small bowl.
Mix well to combine. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and label it with the date and number of yolks used, noting whether salt or sugar was added. To freeze cooked egg dishes like casseroles or quiches, start by cooling the cooked dish to room temperature. You can also freeze individual servings. Sliced pieces will not only cool faster but also be easier to reheat. To do this, wrap each individual serving in plastic wrap and place it on a baking sheet in the freezer until frozen solid.
Once frozen, transfer the individually wrapped servings to a freezer-safe, zip-top bag and store it in your freezer.
