Can You Freeze Eggs? Expert Guide to Freezing Chicken Eggs Properly

Just to clarify: we're talking about chicken eggs here.

Freezing Whole Eggs
You can't freeze eggs in their shells, but you can crack, beat, and freeze them successfully. For easy portioning, pour the beaten eggs into a muffin tin before freezing—thaw only what you need.

Freezing Egg Whites or Yolks Separately
