What do you cook when you've got too many eggs?

[Eco-Chic]

I don't get eggs yet, but planning ahead for the egg glut to come I bought a pickled egg from the Chippie. Wasn't taken with it so I shall have to learn how to make brulee and custard.

Frittata or scrambled eggs - between 5 or 6 eggs each!!

Not that I ever have a glut, cos I sell them all at work!

I used up a dozen eggs today ... flans for tea, and two jars of lemon curd ...

I stopped making creme brulee, couldn't stop at eating one, and those others would call from the fridge and I had to go and pig out on them all.
So no more creme brulee.

lol know exactly what you mean!

I think we did have more eggs than we could use, once upon a time. The dogs got eggs for supper every other day for a couple of weeks, then other people started needing eggs....

We don't have gluts to use up. When it gets to a dozen or so I give some away. With only 4 chickens it's not worth selling them. I give next doors each side a box every now and then, otherwise it's the aged parents or people we visit. And of course, the grandchildren get them. That's what grandkids are for - spoiling!

Any that our grandson collects he gets to keep. As egg collecting is currently his favourite pastime this means there aren't too many spare. I'm going to make some lemon curd over the weekend. It's not something I've done before, and worse I now have 3 different recipes so don't know which one to use, but two say use 3 eggs and the other one says to use 4, so I'll probably go with that one.

One egg, half a lemon (juice and zest), 1oz butter and 1 tablespoon sugar will make a sweet, sharp curd ... adjust to taste. Easy to remember ...

When we have too many eggs, Mr P make Amerretti biscuits and lemon curd. I do bake plenty at those times too. Also we give them away to a couple of people who tend to drop round veggies for the chooks when they have grown too many
Sue, I think I could really do with trying your creme brulee recipe though, as I feel it is something I may be missing out on ;p
