too many eggs

[beattie819]

Hello .........I have far too many eggs to use. Our free range hens are laying like mad.
Any ideas of good ways to use them up. I am a bit fed up with making omlettes, quiches, scotch eggs!
Thanks in advance.

Frittata are lovely and you can add veg or ham or whatever you have to hand - you can eat them hot or cold - and - BIG BONUS - they freeze!

We freeze a lot when our Road Island Reds produce abundantly here in the U.S...

can I come over and get some? I ♥ eggs!

Pickle them, make egg custard tarts, carbonara sauce, etc.

Sell some to a wholefood shop?

[sara3]

nooooooo, give them to me!

[sandyRoe]

If you give them to Sara3 you'll only get gratitude. Sell them and you'll get money.

[sara3]

gratitude is worth more than money.

tut tut!

[sandyRoe]

Give half of them to Sara3 and sell the rest. Then you'll have the best of both worlds gratitude and money

Try this as a different use of eggs:

Irish Cream liqueur

Ingredients:
1 x 300ml Can sweetened condensed milk
250 to 375ml Whiskey (1/2 bottle of Paddy will do nicely!)
1 x 250ml (5oz) carton single cream
3 size 3 eggs
15ml (1 tablespoon) chocolate syrup (cake making kind)
2ml (1/2 teaspoon) coconut extract (a good scrape of Sharwood's block creamed coconut as used in oriental cookery works fine)
Directions:
Place all the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor or goblet of a powerful blender and mix until smooth.

Pour into a bottle and refrigerate. Shake well before pouring and drink within four days.

1 gallon of water-glass (sodium silicate) to 9 or 10 gallons of water. Boil the water add the water-glass, and mix the solution thoroughly. Then you just immerse the eggs in it. Eggs preserved by this method will keep at least a year in good condition. Obviously you probably wouldn't need to keep them this long and you could reduce the amount of solution to suit your needs. You would need to get the ratio correct though.

Ha ha ha you are all so great. Thanks a bunch for all the brilliant answers. I will try everything you suggest except for selling the eggs, as Im only on a little farm and not registered to sell.People donate £1 per dozen, and any money that people give for them I save up and give to charity.
Thanks again everyone.
