You can also freeze eggs for later use. You can either freeze them in ice cube trays (shells removed of course), or you can blend them up (shells removed). Blend 3-6 and freeze in freezer bags (air removed) or vaccuum sealed. Mark how many eggs are in it w/the date and freeze. These are suitable for scrabbled eggs or for baking
