Freezing Raw Eggs

[Coyote_Bandit]

I know it can be done. Crack the egg open and stir to break the yolk. Label and seal in a ziplock bag with as much air as possible removed. Freeze. I have large supply of fresh from the farm eggs and thought I would freeze some this way for baking. I intend to use the rest for scrambles.

Anybody ever experiment with mixing diced veggies with a bit of shredded cheese and a raw egg or two (mixed to break the yolk so it does not dry out) and freezing for future use. It would seem to me that this should work provided you used a fine dice on the veggies and thawed the mixture prior to use.

I would welcome your thoughts and suggestions please.

1. I would be concerned about the enzymes in raw veggies affecting the

quality of the eggs. Maybe if the veggies were blanched before adding to the egg mixture it might work.

I hadn't thought of that aspect. I had however considered freezing the veggies before mixing them into the eggs. That was a thought that had a lot more to do with ease of preparation than anything else. I should probably mention that I'm thinking of mixing a blend of seasoning veggies into the eggs - onions, peppers, maybe a bit of celery or garlic or carrot.

I spent last week working on an organic, environmentally friendly, humane society inspected egg production poultry farm in Arkansas. Helped out a young fellow I know when there was an emergency in his wife's family requiring her attention. I think there are currently about 120 fresh from the farm jumbo eggs in my fridge - and I've probably already given away at least that many. I thought I'd freeze some for future baking. Also thought it would be handy to have some frozen and pre-mixed for scrambles - or a base for mixing a quick quiche filling.
