To use frozen eggs, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or use them directly in recipes, such as scrambled eggs, baking, or omelets.
If you’re in a pinch, you can defrost them in the microwave for a few seconds, but be careful not to overcook them.
Variations:
For scrambled eggs, whisk in a pinch of salt or seasoning before freezing.
Add vegetables, cheese, or herbs to the eggs before freezing for a customized omelet cube.
FAQ:
Can I freeze whole eggs with the shell on?
No, freezing whole eggs with the shell can cause the eggs to crack as they freeze. Always crack the eggs into a container before freezing.
Can I freeze egg whites and yolks separately?
Yes! You can freeze egg whites and yolks in separate trays for specific uses. Just make sure to label each with the amount of egg whites or yolks.
How do I use frozen eggs in recipes?
Simply thaw the eggs and use them as you would fresh eggs. No need to adjust the recipe unless you’re baking, in which case, 1 egg cube is typically equivalent to 1 egg.
