#### Why Freeze Eggs?
* **Save money and reduce waste** by storing eggs you can’t use right away.
* **Prep ingredients in advance** for busy mornings or baking marathons.
* Keep eggs fresh for longer than their typical shelf life.
#### The Surprising Method: Crack, Whisk, and Freeze!
Instead of freezing eggs in their shells, here’s the trick:
1. **Crack your eggs into a bowl.**
2. **Whisk them lightly** just until the yolks and whites are combined.
3. **Pour the mixture into ice cube trays** or small freezer-safe containers.
4. **Freeze until solid**, then transfer the frozen egg cubes into a labeled freezer bag.
This method prevents the eggs from separating and developing an odd texture when thawed. Plus, the portion sizes in ice cube trays make it easy to defrost just the right amount for your recipe.
#### Tips for Using Frozen Eggs
* Thaw frozen eggs in the fridge overnight or under cold running water.
* Use thawed eggs in baking, scrambled eggs, or cooking — they work just like fresh.
* Give thawed eggs a quick stir before using to recombine any separation.
#### Bonus Idea: Freeze Egg Whites or Yolks Separately
If you only need whites or yolks, freeze them separately using the same method. This is perfect for recipes requiring just one or the other.
