In needing things to do with eggs?????

[Bummymum]

Posting here for traffic.

We have chickens. All great. Except last year when I did the yearly chicken order I was a bit tipsy and we now have 20 chickens. We're getting 20 eggs a day!!

Give me some egg heavy recipes please people!

Been making lots of quiches, egg salad and giving them away but it seems to daft to give them away when we pay a sodding fortune for organic food and spend so much time taking care of them.

Can you sell them at the garden gate?
Home made mayonnaise/aioli?

Frittata, tortilla, custard on everything, meringue, cocktails with egg white, mayo, chocolate mousse

Bake lots of cakes!

Could you not sell/ give away 10 chickens so you’d get half the eggs?

Where are you? I'd buy them. I love eggs.

Seriously, could you barter them with friends and neighbours? I'd happily swap some homemade bread or a jar of homemade jam for some really fresh eggs. Or sell them at schoolgate/after church or somesuch?

Soufflé, huevos rancheros, eggs en cocotte, pain perdu.

Could you not rehome/sell some of your chickens? Or maybe sell the eggs

Also hard boiled eggs make a great snack and stop you eating rubbish cause the protein fills you up - have a constant supply in the fridge.

I would have loved to have seen your face when 20 hens arrived

You can freeze egg whites, and also the yolks though yolks need to be beaten with either a little salt or sugar to stop them going funny.
Then you'll have eggs all winter too.

Or barter them with others - we get lovely veg from other people in return for eggs

You can freeze raw eggs. I dont think they lay all year do they?

Most vegetables can be mashed and combined with herbs spices and egg to make a sort of cake or patty, which is delicious topped with an egg - fried, poached or soft boiled.

ahhhh a mini google tells me they do but the "considerably slow down in winter due to decreased light levels"

there you go.

Both use 6 eggs and very nice! Found those recipes when we had chickens lol...
Also used to make a lot of cake and take it into work, and gave away lots of eggs to family and friends

Make French flan - 8 eggs for each litre of milk. Yum

Lemon curd!!

Stick a sign on your front gate: "Fresh eggs. 6 for £1."

My neighbour does this. Her eggs are yum.

Scotch eggs are surprisingly easy to make and homemade ones are way tastier than shop bought.

Pancakes and waffles
Homemade pasta

This is hilarious. I want chickens.

Cakes? Hollandaise sauce or mayonnaise? Both delicious fresh.

Could you sell them? Even if you just did an honesty box outside the house?

Otherwise, frittata, meringues, hollandaise sauce. I crack eggs into mashed potato.

Yes, either give them away or preserve them for when they stop laying in winter. I've pickled egg gluts before and with decent vinegar and spices, they were actually nice.

You can also preserve uncooked eggs in isinglass - I've tried this and it does work, but you need to make sure that your seal is good.

Otherwise, pasta carbonara!

freeze them for baking later. how to freeze eggs
Yorkshire puddings.
Mayonnaise
Hollandaise
French toast
Huevos Rancheros gets rid of up to three per person and makes a hearty meal.
Omelettes (heavy ones like Spanish tortilla) freeze surprisingly well.
Fried, boiled poached (then into benedict or Florentine), scrambled, coddled etc etc.
Have a look at this: so many egg recipes
