[Boiled eggs can be frozen! ] How to freeze boiled eggs, storage period, and recipe introduction

Did you know that you can freeze boiled eggs?

If you don't think you'll be able to eat all the boiled eggs, we recommend freezing them.

However, if you freeze it as is, the white will become mushy and hard.

​Preparation is necessary for successful freezing preservation.

Filling is what is used as a sandwich ingredient.

If you keep it in stock as a filling, you can conveniently use it not only for sandwiches, but also for salads or, with a little extra effort, to make tartar sauce.

We'll show you how to properly freeze boiled eggs and 5 recommended recipes.

Advantages of freezing boiled eggs

Saves time in cooking

You can cut down on the hassle of cooking by freezing boiled eggs in the form of fillings.

Making the filling requires four steps: boiling, peeling, crushing, and tossing, which is surprisingly time-consuming.

There is also a way to make it with scrambled eggs, but it is a little different from the filling made with boiled eggs.

By making it lightly flavored, you can add flavor to it to make tartar sauce, curry flavor, cheese flavor, wasabi flavor, etc., so you never get tired of it.

I recommend buying a lot of eggs at a bargain price, boiling them in bulk, making them into fillings, and storing them in the freezer.

Allows long-term storage

If you make stuffed boiled eggs and freeze them, you can store them for a long time.

Have you ever boiled a lot of eggs but can't seem to eat them all?

Boiled food has a shorter shelf life than raw food.

Even if you store it in the refrigerator with the shell on, it will take about 3 days, but once you peel it off, it's best to eat it the same day.

If the shell cracks when boiled, the expiration date will be shortened.

If you make too much and have leftovers, you can make them into fillings and freeze them for up to a month.

Boiled egg filling recipe and freezing method

filling recipe

1) Peel two boiled eggs, put them in a bowl, and mash them with a fork. The better the egg whites are crushed, the better the taste will be.

2) Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well.

Filling recipes without mayonnaise

1) Peel two boiled eggs, then put them in a bowl and mash them with a fork. The better the egg whites are crushed, the better the taste will be.

2) Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil (for raw consumption), 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice, a little less than 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of coarsely ground black pepper and mix.

How to freeze filling

1) Wrap the filling into individual portions in plastic wrap.
2) Place in an airtight container such as a Ziploc bag, removing as much air as possible, and store in the freezer.

*Quality deterioration can be prevented by freezing and storing at a low temperature as soon as possible.
You can freeze food deliciously by placing it in a metal bat, placing an ice pack on it, adjusting the refrigerator settings, etc., so please try these.

How to thaw and store frozen egg filling

How to unzip

Frozen egg filling can be eaten by thawing naturally.

If you are not going to eat it immediately after thawing, please thaw it in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial growth.

If you freeze it between pieces of bread, you can take it as is for lunch boxes.

Mayonnaise may separate when frozen, so I add a small amount.
After defrosting, you can add mayonnaise to your preference, or arrange it with powdered cheese, grain mustard, wasabi, etc., so you can enjoy it without getting tired of it.

Storage period

Frozen egg filling has a shelf life of approximately 1 month.

The condition inside the freezer differs depending on the household, but the temperature rises especially in the summer when the refrigerator is opened and closed more often.

Be careful about the number and time of opening and closing, and try to maintain the temperature inside the refrigerator by lowering the temperature setting.

Although deterioration can be delayed by freezing, it will gradually deteriorate over time.

Although it can be stored for one month, please use it up as soon as possible.
