What do you do with your extra eggs?

[wombat]

Neighbors, friends, co-workers, a food bank a co-worker actively supports ...

Same with left-over garden produce. Somehow, everything ends up getting eaten by somebody or something!

I freeze or give the ones that I don't want away.

just kidding, we don't have any eggs yet.

This intrigues me. Never heard of freezing eggs. Are they raw or hard boiled before you "press them through a sieve" ?

If raw, when they are defrosted, can they be used to make scrambled eggs or is their defrosted condition make them suitable only for adding them to a baking batter for cookies, cakes, breads, etc.

If hard cooked, when they are defrosted, can they be used to serve as egg salad or to hide them in a raw meatloaf and then baked in the oven?

Thanks,

Next time I do them I will take pics for a tutorial.

Most bakeries use 5 gallon buckets of frozen eggs.

They are raw when sieved. I break them into a sieve and gently press and stir with a rubber spatula. I add salt, which helps keep the eggs from coagulating and keeps them liquidy. It is important not to incorporate air into the eggs as this will increase volume and they will get "spongy" as they freeze.

Once they are through the sieve, I gently stir well and pour into ice cube trays that have been sprayed with Pam or other cooking spray.

You can use them for baking and other recipes calling for whole eggs. They work for scrambled eggs as well!

Ok, I just have to share this.

These are PERFECT for freezing eggs! And they are on sale!!!!

The ice cube trays have a seal and a pour spout, so once you get your eggs sieved and ready, just pour it in. The seal keeps out the air and other odors.
I am ordering more for myself.

Bake with them when i have extra which hasn't happened since the spring!

My girls just started laying in August and just got up to full speed this month.

So far I've given away eggs - a dozen at a time - to friends & coworkers.

I'll also be donating extras to the food pantry I volunteer at.

My cats get some of the extras and I've been able to sell a couple of dozen to friends. But I like the idea of giving some away to a food pantry when I get really overloaded. Thanks for that idea everyone!
