Freezing Cooked Eggs

Has anyone had success freezing cooked eggs?

I read a recipe from Emily Bites and she mentioned freezing these breakfast muffins (eggs, hash browns, cheese, and sausage) after cooking. That doesn't seem too bad since there is other stuff besides eggs.

But I was thinking of trying the recipe below and bulk cooking everything and freezing the leftovers.
With how time consuming it is, I wouldn't want to cook this every evening for breakfast the next morning...
I'd thaw it overnight in the fridge and reheat in the morning at work.
But since it'd just be egg patties, I'm hesitant on how it'd affect the texture of the eggs...

Recipe: http://nomnompaleo.com/post/53107778638/paleo-sausage-egg-mcmuffin

For record I don't follow paleo, it was listed in an article I read about different breakfast ideas and looks delicious.

Thank you =]

    My parents eat the frozen Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls (Sausage, eggs, potatoes). I don't particularly like the flavor/texture; but I don't know if that's because they've been frozen or because of something else that has been added to them.

    I don't have any experience freezing homemade egg dishes. Maybe do a mini test batch and see how it turns out before freezing a whole lot?

    My husband makes an egg casserole and cuts it up and then freezes individual portions. If you heat it in the microwave just until warm and don't over heat it, he says that it is really good still.

    Is it just eggs or eggs and other stuff?

    I'm just worried because it's JUST egg...

    All you can do is try and see. Thankfully, eggs are rather cheap.

    why would it matter- it would still freeze- it might not taste the same (I dislike many microwaved form of eggs) but I see absolutely no reason why you can't freeze them considering how much other crap gets frozen (helllllloooo digoriono pizza!).

    give it a shot- and let us know your results!

    It is eggs with cream and cheese, sometimes a bit of spinach. So I'm not sure how that would work. Good luck though if you decide to try it!

    My sister made egg biscuit sandwhiches and stored extra in the freezer. She pitched a lot of them for getting a freezer taste pretty soon. They are so easy and fast to mak e its a breakfast I don't mind making fresh everyday. They taste so much better fresh too.

    Not sure I understand the point of freezing it. It takes the same amount of time to poach an egg fresh in the microwave as it does to heat up a previously frozen one, and the texture will be miles better.

    Never poached an egg in the microwave...

    I make about a dozen of these at a time and freeze them individually. Makes my morning easy on a work day. Defrost the day before and microwave upon arrival to the office! I'm still breathing so it must be OK? Eggbeaters, spinnach, and onion on a whole wheat roll.
