What You’ll Need to Freeze Eggs:
- Fresh Eggs
- Nonstick Cooking Spray {works MUCH better than traditional muffin tins}
- Silicone Muffin Mold
- Small Cookie Sheet
How to Freeze Eggs in Muffin Tins:
- First you’ll want to place your silicone muffin mold on a small cookie sheet. This will help support the shape once you fill it with eggs.
- Now spray each section lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Then one by one, just whisk your egg lightly in a small bowl or glass measuring cup, then pour each whisked egg into one individual section of a silicone cupcake liner.
- Carefully place tray and mold with eggs into the freezer and flash freeze for about 5 hours, or until eggs have frozen completely.
- After eggs have frozen, simply remove them from your silicone muffin mold. Try pressing up from underneath, and they should just pop right out.
- Transfer frozen eggs to a Gallon Freezer Ziploc Bag, removing as much air as possible, and place back in your freezer.
- Eggs can last up to 6 months in the freezer.
How to Use Frozen Eggs in Baking and Cooking:
The evening before you’ll be needing your eggs, simply transfer however many eggs you’ll need from the freezer to the refrigerator in a small bowl, allowing them to thaw in the fridge overnight. Then use as you normally would in your cooked or baked goods. How easy is that?!?

Ahem, not that naive, but I had heard freezing human eggs for later conception by some ambitious career women. But, yes like Angie I never thought it was a possibility with other eggs too. Great hack though. Thank you!
