How to Freeze Eggs for Storage

Whether you raise chickens, have been given a bounty of eggs or just came across a good price at the grocery store, it's nice to be able to set aside extra eggs to use later. Whole eggs can be kept in the freezer up to six months. When you're ready to use them, thaw the eggs overnight in the refrigerator. Make sure the egg is thoroughly cooked before eating.

Things You'll Need

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixer
  • Zip-close bags

Instructions

  1. Grease the muffin tin lightly.

  2. Crack the eggs and beat thoroughly with the mixer.

  3. Pour the eggs into the muffin tin, filling each section 1/4 inch from the top to allow for expansion. Each circle of a standard tin holds about two eggs. Place in the freezer.

  4. Remove the eggs from the tin once they are frozen. You may have to run a butter knife around the edges. Store the eggs in a zip-close bag in the freezer. Note the date on the bag.
