Break an egg out of its shell into each indention of the muffin pan. Add 1/8 teaspoon salt to each whole egg. Whisk each egg carefully with a fork to break up the yolk until just beaten.
Place the muffin pan in the freezer to completely freeze the eggs.
Remove muffin pan and transfer each frozen egg from the muffin pan and place it into a zip top freezer bag that has been labeled with the date. Roll the zip top bag to remove as much air from the bag as possible and close. Return the bag and the eggs to the freezer for up to one year.
To use a frozen egg, remove the number of individual frozen eggs you need from the zip-top bag and place it in a bowl (or bowls) in the refrigerator overnight to thaw. Then use immediately.
Notes
Only use thawed, previously frozen eggs in recipes where the egg is fully cooked: scrambled eggs, quiche, casseroles, desserts, etc.
