Freezing eggs

Chiny

I made a Western Omlette Casserole in my crockpot & brought to work for a potluck breakfast we had. It was perfect, I turned the crockpot on low before I went to bed & woke up to a delicious breakfast. I want to make this same breakfast for my family & for it to last a couple of days. Can you portion it out freeze it & then warm back up as needed? I'm wondering about the eggs tasting soggy when reheating.

No idea but would you please post the recipe? I had no idea you could make omelets in a crockpot.

I second that, no idea about freezing eggs, but I would also love the recipe

lol...I really thought this thread was going to go in a different direction!

IDK if they would be soggy but I would venture to guess that the eggs wouldn't be as good after freezing. I'm sure they'd be edible but maybe just not their normal consistency.

I questioned the same. :laugh:

I'm pretty sure you can freeze eggs, since the eggs in the Tim Horton's breakfast sandwiches are reheated from frozen "egg pucks". They do it in food service all the time....so I don't see why you should have any problems. given that the other option is probably just to throw it out, no harm in experimenting!

I think that is why McD's ad for their Egg McMuffins always points out they use fresh eggs....

Now if that doesn't put you off those fast food egg sandwiches, nothing will!

My son works at Mcd's ( actually 3 of them do) and said that the egg mcmuffins are made from real eggs, he hates making them, he has to actually crack the eggs making sure there's no air bubbles and the yolks are broken. He's letting me know that the folded eggs..for use in the McGriddles come in folded that they steam and the throw on the grill...sorry for buttin in, but he's reading over my shoulder, yelling, we use real eggs! :laugh: The scrambled eggs come in milk carton thingy's that they pour out and scramble.

YES YES!!!! that is what I meant....that McD's uses real eggs and that's I I think they say so in their ads - cause the OTHERS don't !!!! Sorry, if I wasn't clear on that...appologies!!!

no apologies, we misread, he also said that he would love to be able to just throw on a puck of frozen egg onthe griddle, it would be less work...:laugh:

No doubt! Why did I decide to read this thread? :laugh: I would also love the original recipe though! :happy:

You guys are so funny!! Now that you mentioned it I can see how the title of the thread could've went in a different direction I have a 14yo son and a 7yo daughter, no more babies for me.

Here is the recipe I used:

32 ouncees hash browns, frozen
1 pound ham, extra lean, cooked and cubed
1 medium onion diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack Cheese, shredder (I plan on using Cheddar)
12 eggs
1 cup milk, skim
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper, or to taste

Place a layer of frozen potatoes on the bottom of the crock pot,
followed by a layer of ham, then onions, green peppers and cheese.

Repeat the layering process two or three times,
ending with a layer of cheese.

Beat the eggs, milk and salt & pepper together. Pour over the mixture
inside the crockpot, cover and turn on low. Cook for 10-12 hours, overnight, and enjoy for breakfast or brunch the next day.

This sounds so good that I'm drooling right now. Emailing to myself so I can attempt to make asap! THANKS CHINY!!!

I'm going to have to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.

I think, if you were to reheat the eggs in the microwave, they would have less tendency to be soggy because microwaves tend to dry food out. Maybe try freezing one serving size next time you make it, then reheat, just to see if it works before ruining a whole batch?

OMG I am totally drooling right now! I just might have to try this tonight for tomorrow morning. mmmmmmmmm

Thanks bunches!
