If you plan to use the eggs for:

* **Savory dishes** → add a **pinch of salt** per egg to help maintain texture
* **Baking or desserts** → add **1/2 teaspoon of sugar** per egg

This step is optional but helps preserve the structure of the yolks.

#### 3. **Portion and Store**

Pour the eggs into an ice cube tray, silicone mold, or muffin tin—1 egg per compartment is ideal. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a labeled freezer bag or airtight container. Don’t forget to write the date!
