When you do eggs, how many eggs do you do?

[MaMight]

How many per person?

How many per adult? How many per child?

Does this vary according to method of cooking?

We're doing boiled eggs tonight and I have this weird mental block about doing more than six eggs. It just seems so excessive. But between the four of us, six eggs never seem to go far .

Not sure of the age of dc, but would do 2 for me 3 for dh and 2 for each child.

Which is an awful lot of eggs!

I do 2 per child be it boiled, scrambled, poached or fried.

Hubby can eat 4 in scrambled, omelett.

1 for each child, 2 for me, 2 or 3 for dh (depending on how hungry he is). Dd will often want 2 as well. So that makes 7-9 eggs for the five of us. More if scrambled, as scrambled eggs never seem to go as far as boiled or sunny-side-up.

We tend to use large eggs, or even extra-large when I can get to the farm to buy them (instead of supermarket). If we're having medium eggs, then we will have even more at one sitting.

2 per person for boiled eggs. Maybe 3 for a hungry adult.

Are you ^just having boiled eggs and soldiers or are you using boiled eggs for a recipe like fish pie or kedgeree or something?

2 per person generally, for me, DH and 7y DD.

depends for which meal

boiled for breakfast after cereal and toast etc, one each for me and the dcs, 2 for DH

scrambled for tea we'd need 8 for 2 adults and a 2yo

thing is when they are the main part of the meal they go much less far than (eg) making a frittata with them as there's no addition of spuds, veg, meat, cheese etc

but when you compare the price per portion to meat they are v good value.

2 each, regardless of age.

6 eggs will not feed 4 people.
