Can I freeze hard boiled eggs?

Answered by Egg Farmers of Ontario April 19th, 2020

Answer

It’s best to freeze eggs in their raw state, as freezing boiled eggs is not recommended due to changes in texture. Once defrosted, boiled eggs may become tough and watery.

If you’d like to preserve your eggs by freezing them, here are some tips:

  • Whole Eggs: Beat until just blended, then pour into a freezer-safe container and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Egg Whites: Separate the whites from the yolks, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites. Pour into a freezer-safe container and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Egg Yolks: Beat in 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) of salt or 1½ tsp (7.5 mL) of sugar or corn syrup per ¼ cup (50 mL) of egg yolks (about 4 yolks). Pour into a freezer-safe container and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
