Too many eggs!

[JellySlice]

Somehow I've ended up with 2 dozen eggs on their best before date. Short of feeding everyone scrambled eggs all weekend, any suggestions how not to let them go to waste?

[moreismore]

Frittata? Custard. Meringue. Cake (obvs).

[Chasingsquirrels]

Wish I had too many, my hens haven't laid for a week or so and having made a frittata to use up eggs last weekend we used our last one yesterday.

When I've got a glut I make a big frittata, slices potatoes par boiled, plus whatever I have to throw in it - we like sausage, leeks, peppers all cut up and fried off. Whisk the eggs and layer it all then bake for about 40 mins.

[JellySlice]

Mmm, nice ideas. That's one dozen accounted for!

[JellySlice]

And I've got some leftover boiled potatoes - they're lovely in frittata.

They will be fine for quite a while over their date. Just stick them in water to check - off eggs float.

They really do last for ages! Do the egg float test as someone said. I did this just this morning with some eggs that said their sell by date was Feb 1st and they all sank. I made a cake with them and it's come out perfectly.

Ideas aside - savoury crepes for dinner always go down well here. And a few for dessert too! Also carbonara, egg fried rice, fry up for breakfast, then obviously every egg combo on toast/with avocado

Baking wise- macarons/meringues need several egg whites, obviously any cake/loaf/brownie recipe needs them too.

Use four of them in this Yorkshire pudding recipe and freeze them www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2751670/fromthefreezer-yorkies
Three eggs in carbonara www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1052/ultimate-spaghetti-carbonara
You can also use four in this really easy recipe for ice cream and it will keep for months www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1376633/silly-twits-ice-cream
Use a couple in a moussaka topping and freeze www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/moussaka-with-feta-topping/

Depending how many of you there are you can use half a dozen in French toast for breakfast on Sunday.

Yorkshire puds with your sunday roast?

Spanish omelette

[WinterHeatWave]

Pancakes for breakfast, cake (one for now, one for the freeezer), frittata for lunch, yorkshires with tea.

But they will almost certainly be fine for a week or two (or maybe a month). Just crack each one separately into a bowl before adding to the rest if the ingredients if you are unsure.

[halfwitpicker]

Quiche? Hard-boiled eggs to eat during the week, or as egg mayo?

[seething1234]

French toast and instead of making dinner one of the days do scrambled eggs, bacon and tomatoes.

[JellySlice]

I used up 6 eggs in a rich chocolate cake this evening. Only made one, as there's no space in the freezer.
