A couple of weeks ago I had a tray in the freeze dryer that needed filling before I ran the machine so I whipped up (as if to make scrambled eggs) about a dozen eggs and freeze dried them.
Freeze Dried Eggs
The first thing I did was crumble the bigger pieces so that it was basically a powder. For the first ones, I added hot water to reconstitute. Chad said he always adds milk to his scrambled eggs so the next batch, I added just a bit of hot water (because I didn’t want to heat milk and things work so much better with a warm liquid), stirred them til they were pretty well blended but thicker than they needed to be, then added milk.

They turned out perfect. Chad said they taste just a bit firmer than fresh scrambled eggs but we both actually liked them better than fresh scrambled eggs.
I told him I would put the equivalent of about 7 eggs into mylar bags and bring those to him and he can use them when camping. These eggs would work perfect for omelettes or baking.
I’m impressed with the eggs.

Great idea!

They look just like fresh scrambled eggs to me!

So interesting. One of the most expensive foods to store is dehydrated or freeze-dried eggs! I don’t have any for that reason. I can get a lot more vegetables for the same money, but if I ever need them, I’m going to miss those eggs. You won’t – you’ll have them!
