Can anyone recommend any good, substantial egg-based main courses?

Just that really! Trying to save money a bit, and one thing we do have is a load of eggs! We saw some yellow label multipacks and went a bit mad......

It's just me and my partner at the moment (daughter at dad's) and I'm trying to meal plan for the week, and would like some variety obviously but a lot of egg use hopefully!

We do eat meat but aren't wedded to having it every night. Have a reasonably stocked store cupboard and fridge, and can pop by a supermarket to pick up a fre bits, tho don't want to spend loads this week. I am a relatively capable cook though not a genius in the kitchen. Partner is a bit less confident but can and will cook too, so any easyish ideas I could suggest to him too.....

I can do omlettes and quiche (though any new fun takes on these, or unusual ideas for flavours would be fab). Basically I would be so grateful for any suggestions - I feel like we have been eating a lot of the same basic stuff lately, and would like to liven it up a bit!

Nigellas golden egg curry is delicious

I make it without the finger chillies and it's still plenty hot enough for us

More great ideas - carbonara is a lovely one, as we have lots of pasta. Some form of giant Yorkshire pudding would be good too - could do some version of a toad in the hole, as have sausages in the freezer I think! And the estrallados sound great.

Off to do a quick top up shop now, but I am hoping that just a bag of green peppers, a tiny amount of cooked chicken and maybe some cheap bacon, and bread - should be able to do loads. (I do have stuff in my cupboards and fridge already). Thanks guys, you are extremely helpful and creative!

Spanakopita. It's basically eggs, feta, spinach and pine nuts in filo pastry. Best fresh but will do an overnight in the fridge.
