Challenge: DP brought home 6 eggs - what can I bake?

[DoTheNextRightThing]

Calling on the baking goddesses of Mumsnet. I was moaning to DP that I have all the standard baking supplies (flour, various sugars, baking power, golden syrup, cream of tartar, butter, milk, etc) but no eggs. So he's brought me 6 eggs. But now I'm totally stumped for how to use them up when so many recipes don’t require that many eggs.

I have no jam or cream or fruit or anything like that, so whatever it is will need to be pretty plain.

Also neither me nor DP actually like eggs, so no option to use them up by eating them boiled/scrambled etc.

Any ideas for something I can bake?

Bake more than one cake then!

You don’t need to use them all in one recipe! Pancakes, Yorkshire puddings; biscuits, or just several cakes. Lovely!!

See that's a thought but I'm not sure I have enough flour for that 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I don’t have full bags of anything, so I'm cautious of running out! Was hoping there was some magical cake that requires all my ingredients at once and would use everything up😂

Scrambled eggs on cake

Cake and then meringue?

Or do enough cake/cakes to use them up and then freeze them. Also, if you beat them, you can freeze eggs

Any chocolate? You could make a flourless chocolate cake.

Have poached eggs on toast for breakfast for a couple of days.

The French "quatre quarts" is equal weight of eggs (shell on for weighing), flour, sugar and butter

Brownies seem to need a fair bit

They’ll keep for quite a while. You don’t need to use them all right now!

You can split the mixture into 2, stir some cocoa into one half and make a marble cake

Use 2 or 3 in a cake then use the rest as, you know, eggs.

It's not like he brought home pickled badgers livers..

I use 5 eggs to make chocolate brownies but as others have said use them for different dishes .

Brownies or blondies usually use up a lot of eggs and freeze well. So make a double batch and freeze some for the next time you have a cake craving.

Meringues with the whites and custard with the yolks?
No flour required. Quite a bit of sugar though!

eggs last 3 weeks. Make a cake (if you must, much easier to buy and costs less on ingredients and fuel) and use the rest as normal food.

Well, my brownie recipe needs 6 eggs and 400g of dark chocolate .....

With flour:
Cookies 1 egg
Sponge (I'd break up choc and put it in instead of jam etc) 3 or 4 eggs

No flour:
Meringues - egg whites
Mayonnaise - egg yolks

In fact, 6 eggs could give you 12 fairy cakes, 12 cookies, some meringues and some mayo 😂. But you'd need flour, sugar, chocolate, vanilla extract, Dijon mustard etc and a bit of effort.

Or you could have eggy bread and ketchup for tea.

Also neither me nor DP actually like eggs, so no option to use them up by eating them boiled/scrambled etc.

It’s so great when people read the OP

lemon meringue. Google Delia Smith's recipe.

What a stupid question. You can bake anything with eggs - millions of things.

It must be the cabin fever setting but scrambled eggs on cake has me chortling away to myself.

The French "quatre quarts" is equal weight of eggs (shell on for weighing), flour, sugar and butter That's the same as Victoria sponge, isn't it?
