If there’s one thing I don’t like, it’s wasting food, and since I like to organize the fridge before I go on vacation or on weekend, I discovered a long time ago the best way to use up eggs.

Sometimes we buy big boxes of eggs because honestly, they are a real meal saver!

But what to do with them if we’re not going to use them?

It’s easy! FREEZE!

The eggs look great, are preserved, and are super easy to use when you need them.

How do you make these Mini Fried Eggs?

You need to freeze the eggs so that you’re able to slice them and make the mini eggs.

When you take them out of the freezer, you’ll probably see a crack in the shell. It is normal! They grow larger in the freezer due to the low temperature.

Do not forget to let them thaw for 5 to 10 minutes prior to using them, or rising them in water so that it is easier to slice them.

It is normal if they are slimy, don’t worry!

For this recipe you’ll need:

  • Eggs
  • Olive oil
  • Tomato
  • Garlic
  • Parmesan
  • Thyme

What tricks will ensure that these Mini Fried Eggs taste just right?

  1. Place the eggs in the freezer either in a Tupperware or wrapped in aluminum foil.
