For many families, egg freezing is a reasonable and cost-effective option. But there are a few things you need to think about before using this hack:
Level of excellence:
Thawing may cause a slight change in texture, but the nutritional content and safety of frozen eggs is retained. They might become a little more liquid, which might change how some recipes turn out. Instead of using fresh eggs for recipes that call for their texture, like poached eggs or fried eggs, it’s better to use frozen eggs for things like scrambled eggs, omelets, and baking.

Room: Make sure your freezer has enough space to store eggs. Before purchasing additional trays or containers, make sure you have enough space for them.
Labeling: To ensure frozen eggs stay fresh, be sure to label them correctly with the date.
