In the winter my hens don't lay, I have no electricity for their henhouse and it gets coooold here!
So, this year I thought I'd be smart, and since I have an over-abundance of eggs the rest of the year, I thought I'd freeze some eggs for winter baking. That way I won't have to resort to store-bought eggs at all, since my children refuse to eat tem. They are spoiled and used to fresh, free-range eggs from our own hens. I love that!
Anyway, I'm freezing three eggs at a time in a sandwich bag, about the right amount called for in baking something- or two goose eggs per bag.
By the way if you can get a goose, by all means do- our goose kept us in eggs all winter. We had just enough to get by for cooking and only had to buy eggs once.

You can also freeze eggs and then put them in your gear when you go back packing. I took a back packing course in college many years ago and one of the instructors brought steak and eggs for his breakfast the next morning. It was neat to watch him pour out perfect eggs that had been frozen. When we started-but had slowly defrosted during the hike and then over night.

Well it is good to know one can freeze eggs.
Is it safe?

I'm so glad to get this tip! I wondered if you could freeze eggs...

I had no idea you could freeze eggs either! I'll definitely try this too. |

Yup. I did this too. I whipped them up and labeled each bag. They are strange when they come out of the bag (kind of lumpy), but cook up great as scrambled eggs or in baked goods. Definitely recommend this.

I did "squish" them after putting them in the bags...they do seem to come out of the freezer in better condition if that's done. Time will tell- I'll let you all know in the winter when I start using them!

I didn't know you could freeze eggs. Good thing to know since Easter is just around the corner and they go pretty cheap (No pun intended!!)

a tip....I have found they freeze better if beaten first. They seem to thaw and cook up better if not in their whole state.
