Freeze Dried Eggs

Step 1

Push start of the freeze dryer. It will give you the prompt to allow the vacuum chamber to cool for 15 minutes. Also, make sure the valve is closed at the bottom.

Step 2

Crack eggs and place into a blender. Blend until smooth. This can also be done with a large bowl and a whisk. I like to blend a dozen eggs at a time.

Step 3

Pour into the freeze dryer pans. The pans will fit a dozen eggs per pan.

Step 4

Place into the freezer and freeze until solid. You can skip this step and go straight into the freeze dryer, but this takes less time and wastes less electricity.

Step 5

Add the trays into the freeze dryer. Close the door, and seal

Step 6

Sit and wait for the freeze dryer to work its magic.

Step 7

This takes anywhere from 16-24 hours, depending on the amount of eggs you use per tray.

Step 8

Once the freeze dryer turns off, check the eggs. If they still feel wet, place them back into the freeze dryer and do the process again. Hit the "more time" button.

Step 9

Take the eggs out of the trays and transfer them into glass jars (for shorter term storage) or into mylar bags with oxygen absorbers for long term (up to 20 years) storage.
