Egg Powder Recipe
Follow these simple steps to make your own batch of powdered eggs:
- 2 dozen fresh eggs
- Water (for reconstituting later)
Prepare Equipment
Thoroughly wash and sanitize any equipment that will contact the eggs during the powdering process. This includes blender containers, mixing bowls, dehydrator trays, ladles/spoons, and storage containers.
Crack Eggs into Mixing Bowl
Transfer Eggs to Blender & Mix
Pour the 2 dozen cracked eggs from the mixing bowl into your blender. Blend at medium speed for 2 minutes until the egg liquid is light, frothy, and well mixed. For smaller blenders, you may need to blend in 2 batches.
Ladle Eggs onto Dehydrator Trays
Dehydrate the Eggs
Run your dehydrator at 135-145°F until the eggs are completely dried out, usually 8 to 12 hours. The egg mixture will be lightly browned, cracked looking, and brittle when fully dehydrated.
Transfer Dried Eggs to Mixing Bowl
Process Dried Eggs into Powder
Store Properly for Long-Term Use
Transfer finished powder into airtight jars or vacuum sealed bags. Store in a cool, dark place like a pantry for up to 2 years. For even longer storage up to 5 years, consider freezing.
And that's it! With just a few basic pieces of kitchen equipment and fresh eggs, you can easily make nutritious egg powder for camping trips, emergency supply stocks, or everyday use.
When ready to eat, mix the powder with water at a 1:2 ratio (1 Tbsp powdered egg + 2 Tbsp water = 1 large egg) and use like fresh scrambled eggs. The powder also works great in place of eggs called for in recipes.
