Great for adding to salads or for a nibbly snack during the day. It works just as well with big eggs ... you just need a big jar :-)<br /><br />Yes, if you want to freeze eggs they need to be popped in the case of just yolks and whisked in the case of a whole egg, but whites can just be poured into a tub or jar.<br /><br />At least your evening meal worked out fine - third time lucky :-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4592892447325434256.post-42714402976687270962016-04-05T09:13:31.479+01:002016-04-05T09:13:31.479+01:00I love pickled anything but have never tried a pic...I love pickled anything but have never tried a pickled egg!

I beat them together in threes (that's the amount I use for a cake) and froze in plastic tubs or bags. They last up to about 6 months or so before they noticeably deteriorate. I'm going to have a go at drying them too in the dehydrator. Then there's pickled eggs.............. :)MrsLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379625402563588868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4592892447325434256.post-87149384786986075142016-04-05T08:00:20.749+01:002016-04-05T08:00:20.749+01:00I used to freeze eggs and found that I needed to w...I used to freeze eggs and found that I needed to whisk them up before freezing. I generally used them in scrambled egg/ omelette/ French toast after that :)<br /><br />I still regularly freeze whites (I've been using more yolks recently) and then use these up with a full egg in the same way :)<br />xMrs Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107429545245947483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4592892447325434256.post-67872062793246714152016-04-04T22:46:29.829+01:002016-04-04T22:46:29.829+01:00I had no idea you could freeze eggs.

I pop the yolks, whisk the egg up just to have an even yellow colour throughout, then pour into an empty yoghurt pot with a tiny drop of water. Two eggs per pot. Then, a day or two later when solidly frozen, I slip them out of the pot and store them in an ice cream box or food plassy bag. You absolutely must pop the yolks and whisk them up a bit, then all should be ok. Good for baking or scrambled eggs, quiche etc and if a bit thick, add a drop of water or milk.
