Glut of milk and eggs - ideas?

30 replies

Mymadworld · 13/12/2018 14:14

I buggered up my food delivery and have 40 eggs and 36 pints of milk - we'll over double what I'll need for the week Shock Eggs will last a bit longer but milk needs using and they're in the massive 6 pint bottles with no freezer space to store.

Any sweet or savoury meal ideas? I'm going to attempt a creme caramel later & we had rice pudding last night and I'll do a cauliflower cheese with our roast on Sunday but that still leave quite a surplus Confused

Creme pat..can be frozen for use later in the year
White sauce... Again freeze for later use.

American pancakes - you can make large batch and freeze, pop in toaster to defrost.

Mini omelettes - mix eggs with cheese, peppers, bacon bits , or whatvr you like, pour into muffin tin, pop under grill to cook. Can freeze these as well.

BrieAndChilli · 13/12/2018 14:28

carbonara for egg yolks and meringue for egg whites
custard
cheese sauce
hard boil eggs and they will keep in fridge until needed for sandwiches etc
bread and butter pudding

Freecycle?

INeedNewShoes · 13/12/2018 14:30

The 40 eggs will keep for weeks (well beyond the printed best before date).

36 pints of milk! Blooming heck. I think I'd give a bottle or two away.

Ideas for using:

Macaroni cheese
Pancakes (savoury and sweet)
Fish pie
Quiche
Chicken in white sauce dishes
And gratin any vegetable you eat (broccoli, potatoes, parsnips, cauliflower all work well)

Baked custard
Semolina
Rice pudding

And drink lots of milky coffee and hot chocolate

Beware if you're coldy... excessive milk consumption is a mucus haven.

Tablet and fudge, acres of it. Use as Xmas pressies.

Mymadworld · 13/12/2018 14:37

you can freeze milk as it is btw. just open and tip an inch out of the top so it has room to expand

Rice pudding

AdaColeman · 13/12/2018 16:54

ÃŽles flottantes
Clafoutis
Toad in the Hole
Milk jelly
Chowder, sweetcorn or fish
Whyte Leach
Panna Cotta
Milky soups such as fennel, broccoli etc

AdaColeman · 13/12/2018 17:00

Blancmange
Milk shakes
Iced coffee
Make batches of white and cheese sauce, freeze portions in plastic bags in odd spaces in the freezer.

Littlebelina · 13/12/2018 17:04

Yorkshire pudding to go with roast ( you might be able to squeeze odd ones in the freezer as well?) Lasagnas, custard tarts or lemon tarts?

moredoll · 13/12/2018 17:06

Keep some of the milk outside in a box.

Ceilingrose · 13/12/2018 17:08

Ice cream, or real custard.

Lemon curd (Aldi have bags of unwaxed lemons for 80p.) you'll also need a pack of butter and 12oz sugar. I think I used delia. It blows shop bought out of the water, and you can use it through double cream and on ice cream and tons of other stuff. As well as a sort of jam.

Lemon tart with a lemon egg custard filling- so easy and quick.

Scrambled eggs breakfast.

Tortilla with added veg in if you are on a diet!

Ceilingrose · 13/12/2018 17:08

Ooh pannecotta!

Slipperboots · 13/12/2018 17:15

Is it semi skimmed? If it was full fat I would say making cheese.

Otherwise rice pudding freezes

HotInWinter · 13/12/2018 17:16

The eggs will be fine for ages - mine come (not uk) with packed date and use by date - packed in November, best before Feb.

Loads of good ideas for milky cooking. Lasagna is the only one I cant see mentioned I'd thought of.

goose1964 · 13/12/2018 17:38

Home made butter, just pour into a food processor and blitz until solid

abc12345 · 13/12/2018 17:45

You know you can give the food back to the delivery driver if it’s wrong or you no longer want it?

Is there a food bank or a community fridge near you?

If not it’s pancakes and milkshakes for every meal! Could you make your own yoghurt, kefir or ice cream?

abc12345 · 13/12/2018 17:47

Chicken cooked in milk?
