They bake up just fine, without any noticeable change in texture. According to Betty Crocker, raw eggs are freezer stable, especially if mixed with something else.<br /><br />In quiche's, I always bake before freezing, so the crust stays crisp. <br /><br />You can freeze raw, beaten eggs for baking later, but according to Joy of Cooking, you should add some sugar or salt to each egg. I've done this when I've had a surplus of eggs to use up before expiry. It worked just fine. The eggs look slightly different when thawed, but once mixed into a batter, they work just fine.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-4663988523674375132012-12-12T08:39:27.839-08:002012-12-12T08:39:27.839-08:00Silly question here - can you just freeze teh raw ...Silly question here - can you just freeze teh raw egg?

I know what you're talking about. All...Hi Kris,<br />I know what you're talking about. All November our freezers were so full I couldn't make anything ahead and freeze. We're just now making a dent in the stock there.<br /><br />That crockpot egg casserole sounds like it's worth trying. I'm the same way about Christmas breakfast, just sugar doesn't work for me. So I plan something with protein, like this casserole. We'll have ham and blueberry muffins, with it. But I like to just sit and enjoy the morning with the family, and not be spending it in the kitchen.<br /><br />Let me know how the crockpot casserole works out. The idea of putting it together in the evening and just leaving it to cook itself, sounds very appealing.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-49915624185211154682012-12-11T08:57:14.359-08:002012-12-11T08:57:14.359-08:00Problem is, my hubby has our freezer so full with ...Problem is, my hubby has our freezer so full with produce and venison/salmon/turkey/ham that there is no room for a casserole. I have a recipe for an overnight egg casserole in the crockpot which I am toying with trying for Christmas morning--have you tried anything like this? It has great appeal to me to mix up everything the night before and be done with it. It's also our tradition to have homemade cinnamon rolls Christmas morning but I like to serve something more substantial as well (all that sugar and white flour doesn't satisfy me for long--I only like my cinnamon rolls with white flour; I've tried the whole wheat version and it just doesn't do it for me, especially since this is a once-a-year indulgence).

But I decided that with the ham I'd rather have it on the side so I get it's full flavor.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-61965805791359479702012-12-11T07:04:38.494-08:002012-12-11T07:04:38.494-08:00That looks delicious!

Suddenly, I discovered the wonders of brunch at my place (and the leftovers I could take to work).
