An apparatus for rapidly breaking and separating eggs is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an egg holder for holding a plurality of eggs stationary in a select number of rows. A pair of contiguous knife blades are positioned below each row of eggs. The knife blades are movable from a lower position below the eggs to an upper position wherein the knife blades break the shells of the eggs. The knife blades are movable horizontally to a spaced-apart position to allow the egg contents to drain between the knife blades. A receptacle is provided for receiving the egg contents. A hollow cone with a depressible collar is preferably positioned below each egg to receive the egg contents. The collar can be depressed to allow the egg whites to overflow the cones into the receptacle and only the egg yolks are retained within the cones.
