3 Easy Ways to Use Extra Eggs!

[@betty8173]

I wish that I had seen this before I tried the ice cube tray idea!! 3 websites assured me they would fit, but 8 eggs filled the 12, and very messily! But I have made mini quiche, no crust, with turkey bacon, spinach, onion, garlic, seasonings,12 eggs, a bit of milk and cheese, baked in 2 large muffin pans, great taste, easy to thaw! Thanks for the ideas!

[@robinsmith3469]

you poured that scrambled egg from that bowl into the pan so well, I was waiting for it to go everywhere like I would have end up doing. All very good ideas!!

[@kathleenevans7990]

I just love you! Thank you. Just got 48 eggs and didn’t know what to do with them during this coved crisis. I’ve already hard boiled some, made egg salad and even tuna salad. Your suggestions are fabulous thank you so much 😊

[@barbr758]

I just found your videos and had to comment on this was to use eggs up. Before retiring and I had the chickens I would make angel food cakes to freeze (using the whites) and pound cakes to use up the yolks. They both took exactly 12 eggs each. Very nice treats for the winter months, I'd use my frozen strawberries over the top.

[@nanomaine]

Great ideas, thank you! A friend's Mom, used to make lots of French toast - and freeze 'em.

[@essemsween818]

You can freeze 2 whisked raw eggs in a Ziploc bag. Get out as much air as possible and freeze them laying flat. Most recipes in baking need an even number of eggs & you'll know each little bag has 2. They're only 1/4" or less thick when frozen & you can stand them on end like filing them so they take very little space up in the freezer.

[@katherinec409]

Love that - and, put the baggies back in the freezer and re-use them when you freeze more eggs.

[@melissaroot1092]

[@bethhubbs9937]

Quiche! I like to make 2 or 3 quiches at a time and then cut them into pieces which freeze really well. :) Loving the content on this channel.

[@carolhallam4644]

Great ideas! Thank you! My husband and I are retired and the only 2 living in our home. We have 14 chickens (9 hens and 5 roosters) and get 8-9 eggs per day. They started laying on December 31, 2020 and have not stopped yet. We have been giving them away to neighbors and at church. This is very helpful to us to know how to handle an excess of eggs. Thanks again! (By the way, we are going to cull down our roosters.} We had bought 6 Dominique unsexed chickens with the hope of getting A rooster but instead, got 5 roosters and one hen. LOL

I am old enough to be your mama and I always think I pretty much no it all and have done it all and yet I still learn many many things from you and also from your hubby.. Makes me wish I could do it all again but some of your tips I can use right now... Only the best wishes for you and your husband and girls..

[@sylviadarbe3389]

i make breakfast casserole with all the things we like such as bacon, sausage, sweet peppers, mushrooms, onions, tater tots cheese and milk. we cook in silicone bar s let them cool then pop them out to cool. we put 2 in snack baggies and then all of those in a gallon freezer bag to freeze. works out great for all of us when we are going in different directions with our service dogs or to take fishing with us. thanks for the tips...love them. keep videos coming, they relly help right now

[@susannegalligan8600]

You are so creative! Thanks, catching up on your old videos!

[@pamt8430]

Fantastic!! I never thought about that, and I am a firm believer in if they sell it in the freezer section in cardboard it can be done at home. Never had a good frozen breakfast sandwich or breakfast burrito...but that is going to change!! Thanks Sarah!!!

Thanks for all the ideas about saving eggs or storing them. I never knew you could freeze eggs. Or that they would be good after they were froze.

[@joeymcclure9463]

Those are really good ideas. We have that exact problem with to many eggs. Thank you very much for the idea.

[@tothyselfbetrue1894]

Sarah oh my gosh go to Homestead family this lady water jars her fresh eggs. I was like no way!!!!!! You can preserve fresh eggs in water and a lime canning mixture that has been know to preserve fresh uncooked eggs for up to two years... no joke.. yes way.. people used this method when there was no electricity.... its crazy... you turned me on to Homestead recipes now I'm finding so many cool and easy ways to preserve food. Always love watching u..

[@karlraffelsieper1232]

Hey, stumbled across your channel and love what you're doing. 2 words for you. "Scotch Eggs". Basicly a partly boiled egg, wrapped in pork sausage, breaded in the traditional flower, egg wash, bread crumb, I bake mine but it's traditionally deep fired. Eaten hot or cold for breakfast, snack, or any time you're hungry. I used them for a rushed morning, reach into the fridge, pop into the toaster oven, go out to walk the dog, come back to a breakfast I can take on the road. Perfect for picnics, fishing, hunting or camping trips. Kids love them, seasoning is whatever works for you. Sausage can be anything you like. (italian sausage is a bit to greasy for me), I make my own sausage, and do honey and garlic, or a mix of that and a traditional english banger. It's so good your doctor is going to get mad with you. I'm starting to experiment where, in the prep process, is the best to freeze them. If I want stuff to last, I vacuum seal stuff. One kitchen tool I wish a bought decades before. Keep posting your stuff!

[@dawncooper4739]

Great idea Sarah! Will be doing that for sure. Rinse, dry then crush egg shells to put around plants to help with horn worms ect..

[@karlacomenzind3987]

Eggscellent video...Just a BRILLIANT way to store eggs. Love you all and May God Bless You n Yours And Your Beautiful Homested. You keep me motivated to keep canning and working toward more self sufficiency. Planning a garden for next spring. And want to get a few chickens. Everyone has them up in the NORTH GEORGIA MOUNTAINS. Many chicken farms here. And Tyson Chicken Plant. My Son is going to build me a coop. He just built 2 for a friend of ours. I love farm fresh eggs. So much more tastier and better for you. Thanks for sharing. 💖👩‍🌾🐓🐤🐣🌿🌾🌻

[@DavincisGirl66]

Watching this during the Pandemic. Very helpful.

[@cathyb4152]

I find that putting parchment paper or wax paper between each one before freezing works great to get them apart. I have containers that fit homemade hamburgers that I do this with also.

[@rebeccarenner8927]

Hi I'm Becky from Ohio. New to your channel and I love it. Getting so many ideas. I am going to do these egg tips! Along with the world I am sheltering in place during the pandemic. We just got a big freezer and are stocking up so we don't have to go out too much. Stay safe and healthy!!!

[@nolaparton-jones8932]

You can also preserve your eggs by keeping them in hydrated lyme. There is a video on You Tube about it. I would suggest you look into that as well. You preserve them whole, in the shell and they are supposedly just like having fresh eggs and last for one or up to two years. I am definitely going to try that this year when I have too many eggs to use up. Thanks for your videos, I have learned a lot from them! I will try a couple of these methods as well.

[@4LineRanch]

I take two dozen eggs, some milk, vanilla and cinnamon and mix it all up for French toast batter. Then I take loaves of Texas toast, dunk, bake on a large electric skillet and let them cool. The finished French toast can go back into the loaf bag to be frozen, or freezer bags. My kids love these as a quick and easy breakfast. They’ve discovered you can put the frozen pieces in a toaster and it’ll get them to the perfect temperature without making them soggy like the microwave tends to do. :)

[@tomgolden212]

thanks for the good info. now i have some for everyone that has not tried the ball jam and jelly maker i got one and it was the best thing i could have gotten. you really need to try this out it is so easy and fast to use it only took me 25 mins. to make 5 1/2 half pints of grape jelly and it is a 4 ingredient recipe. i really like my ball jelly maker.

[@Sunshine-ke1jg]

Great ideas, thank you😊 I use silicone molds to freeze, then place in individual fold over sand bags, then into a gallon zip lock bag, then place in freezer; they will not stick to each other😉

[@scribble4766]

Sarah, I freeze my eggs as well. I discovered that you could do that by accident. I collected eggs when it was below zero and they were already frozen. The eggs did have a crack in them but did not explode. I thawed one as an experiment. I put it on a dish and let it thaw completely then I fried it and it was perfect. I didn't think it would be any good or would fall apart in the skillet. It didn't. You could not tell the difference between a fresh egg and the frozen one. So I do freeze mine in the shell when I get too many. Oh, I love your channel.

[@essemsween818]

Do you just put them in the freezer in the cardboard tray you store them in (or in my case buy them in) Kevin? You don't tap a hole anywhere near the top or encourage a little crack in the shells before you place them in the freezer? And how do you A) Store them once they're frozen, & B) Defrost them? Is it easy enough to crack the shell without getting loads of bits in the albumen. I'm fed up with throwing out eggs that I forget about and fully Free Range are NOT cheap over here. I always intend to do the silicone muffin tin thing but then forget about it again, but if I could just stick the whole box in the freezer there & then, I'd both save myself a fortune and always have eggs on hand, or at least just a 'defrost time' away. Lol. Would appreciate your advice.

[@sydoz1956]

dont they explode?? when frozen whole?

[@janwhite5642]

Good to know..

[@scribble4766]

@@essemsween818 Just freeze them, shell and all. In the carton if you wish but I do put my in plastic bags. The eggs will get a crack in them, no big deal. When you need eggs, take out what you need and put them on the counter on a plate. When room temp, use them. It really is that simple.

[@scribble4766]

@@sydoz1956 No, they just get a little crack in them which will not hurt anything. Just try it as an experiment with one. You will see.

[@jeanettezollo5841]

Thank you so much there are people that say you can’t use eggs afte the first day not in the fridge not in the freezer you validated that you can thank you so much for all your ideas they help so many of us !!!!!!

[@dennisst.germaine3497]

Thank you Sarah, these are such great ideas! I would like to add one suggestion for your video. Buy a vacuum machine and when the eggs are frozen, and you take them out of the pans, place and arrange them into a vacuum bag, suction and seal them, and then back into your freezer. The vacuum sealer is great for Kevins fish and wild game meats, as well as, any of your Homestead preserves. Thanks for Listening and God Bless

We do have a vacuum sealer but we don't use it much. I will keep this in mind. Thanks! 😊

I take and wrap my eggs in plastic wrap real tight and freeze in the egg carton. I don't have my cown chickens, wish I did. But I buy a load when they are on sale. I just bought a bunch of cartons for .49¢ a dozen. So I freeze most of them. Thaw out what I need and it's just like a fresh eggs, perfect! BTW I love your show, I live my dream through you two, love you guys. God Bless 🙏 and thanks for sharing💞

Our family buys the parchment sandwich bags in bulk and put the individually wrapped portion into the freezer plastic bag. We can then throw the whole portion into the microwave and be done in under a minute. We buy the sandwich bags when they go on sale through Azure Standard. Thank you for having different ideas than the rest of KZbin.

[@usha9807]

I am going to freeze my eggs from now on. I live on my own and don't have chickens, but i do buy freerange and organic and they are eggspensive, so i am going get my muffin tray out to save them and use them as i need them. I will take Carol Avant's advice and vac seal them. Thanks so much for this and all your informative video's.

That's great info, thank you! I was thinking as you were placing the eggs into the muffin tin, that you could also, separate the eggs first, for those recipes that call for only yolks, or only egg whites. Awesome!!

When you thaw the eggs out, the white thaws first, so it is really easy to seperate them then, with no risk of breaking the yolk :)

I like to make quiche to freeze. It works great. Prep whatever you want in your quiche (bacon, ham, spinach, cheese, ANYTHING) put in pie crust. then scramble 8-10 eggs in a bowl and pour on top. Use saran wrap to wrap it up and then ton foil over that. Then freeze- yes freeze without baking. Once frozen, I usually pop two into a 2 gallon freezer bag to last longer without freezer burn. I label the foil with what type of quiche it is. When ready- bake 350* for about an hour! So easy and it uses a whole bunch of eggs.

[@blayne2029]

Hi. Love your videos. Quick question. I thawed some frozen eggs that were done in muffin tins today and used them. The yolk is a bit gelatinous and so it comes out chunky when you cook it - not idea for most recipes. Is there something special I need to do when I thaw them? Also, you should crack your eggs on a flat surface, never an 'edge.' Cracking them on a flat surface like the countertop cracks the shell without pushing up bits of shell into the egg. Less egg shells in things...

[@greathornedforge1133]

These are great ideas even for a bachelor like me with no chickens!

[@lisalevesque6313]

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

I use muffin cups in the muffin tins and I can freeze them right in the paper muffin cups. I then vacuum seal them 2 per bag or seal a bag in half with an egg in each section. They work well! Good work letting us know what you do.

Ice cube tray only works for separating them. Whites in one and yolks in another. That great for recipes that call for yolks or whites but not both. I do a few that way for those recipes but the rest I use muffin pans but I use the silicone muffin tins so I can push them out easy.

Hi. I love your hot dog recipe. As a former home ecs student 3 tsp equal 1 tablespoon. Saves counting!!!

[@Ajanura]

Preserving eggs without electricity would be my favourite method. Another KZbin channel tested preservation methods from the 18th and 17th century, especially methods for preserving eggs. The best method was laying the eggs in a ceramic vessel with a saturated solution of slaked lime (Calciumhydroxide). The eggyolk became a little bit unstable as time went by, but the eggs were still absolutely fresh after 8 MONTHS. You could use them for baking and cooking. So maybe you consider to buy a pot of Calcium hydroxide for times when no electricity is available. The USA often have got blackouts.

[@Bra-a-ains]

My house is wired to the grid. However, all my out buildings, including my big freezer, are run by free solar and wind, unlimited energy. I use the typical marine batteries for storage. But, with all the EV car battery packs that will become available with 40-70% capacity left, I hope to get one or two in the next 5 years, since they will last longer. I just wish I was next to a creek for hydro. However, I am one property away. In a pinch I have extra generators so I can offer my neighbor to wire one for him and one for me from his creek. With hundreds of millions of motors, generators, and alternators around, electricity is here to stay, even after an EMP attack.

I have to admit, I tried the ice cube tray method...the eggs were much larger with whites than the little ice cubes spaces... I did 24 eggs!!! Ok, now what to do??? Well...I have made crockpot eggs before, but your idea of scrambling and freezing individual portions is great! I thawed out the 24 eggs...scrambled in the blender..put in crock pot, added a lb. of sausage that I had already fried up, 2 cups of grated cheese and a bag of frozen hashbrowns...cooked on high to get going and then put on low - maybe 5 hrs total...had tortillas and stuffed each and rolled and wrapped and put in freezer...saved me losing 2 dozen eggs..., love the dozen muffin tins...that is needed as ice cube trays just don't cut it...but for just the two of us here...we have 8 young laying hens...that's 8 eggs a day...most folks already raise chickens and can't give them away...so love these ideas, thank you so much for all that you all do in your videos!
