Freezing Hard-Boiled Eggs Step-by-Step Guide
Hard-boiled eggs can be frozen by following some easy steps. The shells must be removed, and only the yolk can be frozen. Unfortunately, cooked egg whites become hard, rubbery, and unappetizing when frozen.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- water
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a pot, adding enough water to cover.
- Bring the water to a rapid boil and let it boil for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the pot and run under cold water. Then remove the shells.
- Separate the whites from the yolks and place in separate bowls. You can use the egg whites in salads or sandwiches. Place any leftovers in an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Place the egg yolks in a resealable freezer bag or a freezer-safe container. The yolks should be in a single layer. If using freezer bags, remove the excess air before sealing.
- Label the containers with the date and freeze for up to 1 year.
