Eggs!

anguk

My OH came back from the shops yesterday with a pack of 30 eggs that was reduced, has anyone got any ideas of things I can make with them that I can freeze? I don't really fancy living on omelettes etc for the next few days so thought if I could make things to freeze I could use them up that way.

Thanks.

I know you can freeze egg whites and use them for merangues etc, but I found this which may help if you've actual recipes to use them in at the minute:

Eggs may be frozen at home quie easily, but it is important to use only high-quality freh eggs. For convenience' sake, freeze eggs in serving-size quantities.
Although egg whites freeze satisfactorily without any additives, frozen whole eggs and egg yolks become lumpy when thawed. To prevent this, add one tablespoon sugar or corn syrup or one teaspoon salt to each cup of whole eggs and two tablespoons sugar or corn syrup or one teaspoon salt to each cup of egg yolks. Sweetened eggs are suitable for desserts, while salted eggs can be used in main dishes.
To freeze eggs break the eggs into a bowl, separating yolks and whites, if desired. After stirring the eggs to blend (do not beat), strain them through a medium strainer or put them through a food mill. Add sugar or salt, if required, then freeze at 0o or lower in freezer containers leaving sufficient room for expansion. Eggs can be kept frozen for 9 to 12 months.
Frozen eggs should be kept solidly frozen until needed, then thawed in the refrigerator. Use promptly.
Hope this helps.

Have you thought about making quiches?

How about a couple of egg custard tarts, along with the quiches, that should take care of a dozen eggs. Egg fried rice should freeze ok too.

For puddings, how about lemon meringue, mousse, souffle or Queen of puddings, all heavy on eggs?

Thanks Pol,

I just made egg fried rice for lunch and it had never ocurred to me that it could be frozen. After reading your post, I'm going to make some more for the freezer and freeze it in individual portions so my family can lift it out when they want some. Thanks again for giving me the idea.
