How to freeze whole eggs

Break the egg in a small dish and stir to combine the yolk and the white. Then add a pinch of sugar or salt.
Pour the egg into the freezing container and freeze the egg for four to six hours. Once fully frozen, remove from the freezing container and place the frozen egg in a freezer-safe bag.

How to freeze egg yolk

Break the egg yolk up in a small bowl and stir in a pinch of sugar or salt to stabilize the yolk. Freeze the yolk in a muffin tin or an ice cube tray. Remove the frozen yolk and transfer it to a freezer bag. You can also freeze the yolks directly in the freezer bag.
Or pour it directly into a plastic freezer bag and freeze it flat.

How to freeze egg white

Freeze egg whites by beating them slightly, then pour the white into a muffin tin or an ice cube tray. Remove the frozen whites and transfer to a freezer bag. You can also freeze the whites directly in the freezer bag. You do not need to add salt or sugar to egg whites.

Frozen egg storage

Date and label the freezer containers. I like to mention the number of eggs in a freezer container when I freeze more than one egg. Once the eggs are frozen they will last for up to six months.

Notes

Make sure to label and date your freezer containers.

Make sure to thaw your eggs properly. Frozen whole eggs and frozen egg yolks will have a different texture and need to be stirred or whisked well before using.

I have successfully used thawed frozen egg yolks in all types of batters.
