If you'd like to store an opened package of OvaEasy, please push all air out of the package and ensure it is sealed. No refrigeration is required, but they do advise that it is stored in a cool, dry place.
Although the eggs can be rehydrated with hot water they will still need to be thoroughly cooked prior to eating them. This can be done using a pan/skillet or a Boilable Bag (see our Gear section) submerged in boiling water to create an omelette-style egg.

We have used Ova Easy repeatedly for backpacking breakfasts. We typically combine them with instant mashed potatoes for filling for breakfast burritos. Very tasty and worth the little extra.

I had noted the Ova Easy egg mix a couple times and wondered if it would be worth buying. So I finally gave in and picked up a package on my last order. So what I did was see how the egg mix worked - since so often powdered egg mixes come up lacking. This one was well touted so - I took the gamble. I followed the package directions and placed 2 Tbsp egg mix in a snack size bag. I added in 3 Tbsp cool water to the bag, sealed tightly and shook the bag till everything was mixed up - check the corners, the powder likes to stay in them! I then let the eggs sit there for a couple minutes to meld. (Btw, this equals about 1 1/2 eggs) I heated the pan over a very low flame (remember, nonstick pans are not meant to be blasted on high heat!) and added in a packet of olive oil. I added in the liquid egg mixture and instantly it started cooking. Using a small spatula, I popped the edge of the setting eggs and allowed the still liquid part to run under - allowing everything to cook evenly. As soon as it was set on the bottom and turning golden brown I flipped it over. No sticking, no muss. It only took a couple minutes from start to finish to have fresh scrambled eggs. They both smelled and tasted like fresh eggs. Add some pepper, maybe a pinch of salt and you are good to go. The stable texture of the eggs would work in making a flat biscuit of eggs to use in a breakfast sandwich or in a burrito. It also would work well added to fried rice, Pad Thai, etc. I have more recipes coming where I use these eggs. They are the best powdered eggs I have yet to find! And they contain nothing but eggs. How refreshing! The bag is shelf stable as well, you do not need to refrigerate after opening. The bag has a built in zip top as well. They are not cheap but they are well worth it.

Was looking for eggs for this last weekend trip. WOW.....the best powdered eggs out there. Added some sun dried tomatoes and a jalapeno and voila perfection. One whole package was just enough for two adults. I made my own biscuits and it was perfect. Thank you.

Used these on a BWCA trip. I have never used freeze dried eggs before and was very excited at the results. I use PG diced potatoes, onion and peppers then scrambled these eggs into the mix....WOW...just like using fresh ingredients at home. No better breakfast anywhere. PG has excellent products and I will be using them on the next trip.
