Easy enough for kids to do!
Who knew a 9-year old would find separating eggs so much fun?

I taught my nephew how to separate eggs last week and every day he asked to separate more eggs.
For longer storage, freeze them.
For convenience, add an egg white each to the wells in an ice cube tray.

Freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-top freezer bag.
Thaw however many you need for several hours in the fridge before using.
To avoid a skin forming on top, press plastic wrap directly against the yolk.

We don’t recommend freezing egg yolks.
Working over a small bowl, use your thumbs to gently pry the egg halves apart.
Let as much egg white as you’re able to drip into the bowl below.

Be careful so as not to break the egg yolk.
Place the egg yolk in a separate bowl.
This way if you break a yolk it will not break into all the egg whites you’ve separated.

Another way to separate eggs is to crack the egg open into your upturned palm.
Let the egg whites slide through your finger tips.
