Fridge contains: Let the frozen egg pieces thaw in the fridge for at least 12 hours, or overnight if possible.
Soak in cold water: Place the thawed egg whites in a plastic bag and seal it. Then, soak it in cold water. Once every half hour, or until the eggs are thawed, change the water. This usually only takes a few hours, and is much quicker than using the fridge.
Use the defrost or low power setting on your microwave to quickly defrost frozen eggs if you are in a hurry. The eggs can be partially cooked if you are not careful, so be sure to keep this in mind.
How to use thawed eggs in recipes
If you want to make scrambled eggs, thawed eggs are the way to go.
Add salt and pepper, whisk, and cook in a skillet with oil or butter over medium-low heat until cooked to your liking.
Omelettes: Thawed eggs can be used to create omelets stuffed with a variety of ingredients, such as cheese, vegetables, or ham. Prepare the pan by heating it. Whisk the eggs and pour them into it. Add the ingredients. When the omelet is almost set, fold it in half.
