To make powdered eggs at home, begin by whisking eggs until well combined, then cook them in a non-greasy, non-stick skillet until they're fully scrambled and dry. Spread the cooled, scrambled eggs onto a baking sheet and dehydrate at 135°F (57°C) for at least 10 hours, or until completely dry. Once dried, pulse the eggs in a blender or food processor until they reach a powdered consistency. Store the powdered eggs in a cool, dry place inside an airtight container.
