She puts the egg in an ice tray: a trick to try

Did you know the eggs can be frozen? Put them in an ice tray to freeze, then take out when and as many as you need!
Not everyone is aware that you can freeze eggs, but certain kinds of raw and prepared eggs can be frozen following these instructions. You can’t freeze eggs in their shells, though.
• Whole eggs – whisk until just blended, then pour into freezer containers and seal tightly. Label with the number of eggs and the date before freezing.
• Egg whites – Separate the eggs one at a time, being careful that no yolk is in with the whites. Pour into freezer containers, seal tightly and label. If you want faster thawing whites, pour into an ice cube tray and freeze before transferring the egg cubes to a freezer container.
• Egg yolks – Egg yolks thicken and turn to a gel when frozen, so they need special preparation before freezing. To slow the thickening down, mix in either 0.5 ml of salt or 1 ½ tsp sugar or corn syrup per ¼ cup egg yolks (around 4 yolks). Label with the number of yolks, date, and whether they’ve been salted (for savory dishes) or sweetened (for baking or desserts).
• Hard-boiled eggs – You can freeze hard-boiled egg yolks to use at a later date for toppings and garnishes. Put the yolks in a single layer in a pan and add enough water to come at least one inch over the yolks. Cover and bring to the boil, then remove from heat and let stand in the water for around 15 minutes. Remove the yolks with a slotted spoon, drain, and pack for freezing. Don’t freeze whole boiled eggs and egg whites, as they turn hard and watery when frozen.
Some people have more fresh eggs than they need to use, you can freeze them before they expire to avoid food waste .
