Hi missexcel,

We have an existing thread with lots of suggestions that should help so I've added your thread to it to keep the ideas together.

Thanks very much Pink - I'll have a read though! xxx

I also read about freezing the eggs once separated, just note on each box how many there are. And then once defrosted, you can whisk them back together again (or separately if the recipes call for it), and cook as normal...

Or you can have massive baking sessions, as already mentioned, cakes and quiches and the likes also freeze well once cooked...

Welsh rarebit!

I also like to do stuffed potato skins with egg - cook a jacket potato in the microwave until nearly done, cut in half, scoop out a spoonful of potato from the middle of each side. Mix in a bowl with beaten egg, herbs, leftover veggies/bacon/whathaveyou, pile back on the potato halves, sprinkle of cheese on , into oven until crispy and golden on top. The egg makes the filling puff up and you've got a sort of cross between a stuffed pot skin and a spanish omelette, very tasty!

Thanks

They will keep for a couple of weeks. What about Quiche, sponge cake, egg mayo sarnies, frittata, fairy cakes?

It depends on how fresh they are right now. There is a sink/float test to see how fresh an egg is. I'm sure google will bring up something.
I would be looking at egg based meals - ommlettes, tortillas, egg curry, cakes etc. I'm sure we could get through them in a week!
