Can you freeze eggs or do have to hard boil them first?

You can freeze raw eggs, but you don't have to hard boil them first.

Here's why:

* Freezing raw eggs: Freezing raw eggs is a common way to preserve them for longer. You can freeze whole eggs, egg whites, or egg yolks. However, it's important to follow these steps to ensure the eggs freeze properly:

* Break the eggs into a container. You can use a freezer-safe plastic bag or container.

* Whisk the eggs together. This helps prevent separation when they thaw.

* Add a pinch of salt or sugar. This helps keep the eggs from becoming too watery when thawed.

* Label and date the container.

* Freezing hard-boiled eggs: While you can freeze hard-boiled eggs, it's not ideal. The texture can become rubbery when thawed. It's better to hard boil them fresh and keep them refrigerated for up to a week.

Important note: Eggs are a great source of protein, but they can also be a source of salmonella. To minimize your risk of food poisoning, use pasteurized eggs for freezing or any recipe that calls for raw eggs.
