Beginning in November or even late October, the molt comes on, and eggs go off. I generally get a couple a week, enough for some fresh eating, but not enough for our needs.
Last year I had very good success with freezing eggs for use as scrambled or to bake with.
Frozen eggs for Baking:
12 eggs stired until a light yellow but avoid whipping hard - puts too much air in them, and they don't keep as well
2 tblespoons of sugar stir until dissolved
Pour into 12 muffin cups spreading it evenly among them, they won't be completely full
Freeze 24 hours - remove and bag, and freeze until needed. I like this method as if the recipe calls for two eggs, I just grab two "muffins" out of the bag. I place them in a bowl, and they are fairly closed to thawed in 30 minutes.
Frozen Eggs for Scrambled or Burritos:
12 eggs + 1 1/2 tsp of salt
Again stir slowly until well mixed, with the salt, but do not whip.
One can divide this up as you use it in quart bags or smaller. I have a lot of family come home so I generally do a couple big bags with a dozen in it.
Freeze these flat - and they will thaw faster. I put them in the fridge overnight, and they were ready to go in the morning.
