Eggs eggs and more eggs!

I seem to have a load too.

Not sure how to use them all up myself at the mo. I may make a quiche or two for the freezer, maybe a some baking (not sure what yet) and lots of eggs for breakfast/lunch for a few days. Also I will persuading himself that we will not be pickling them, as he barely finished the
last batch and that took years!

lemon curd is the easiest thing to make in the microwave - and delicious too! I've linked to this recipe because it uses 4 eggs - there are other variations out there, though, if this one doesn't take your fancy!

Lemon meringue pie.

I would do a frittata, great for a light lunch or supper and leftovers keep well for a packed lunch the next day.

If you have freezer space and the time do ice cream, I've tried a few of Nigella's recipes they were great, then either freeze the whites or batch cook some meringues and freeze to use when you need/want them.

Hi

I have a load of eggs I need to use up in next day or so and ok, we are having omelettes for dinner tonight and I can do some boiled eggs for lunch tomorrow but that's probably reaching our egg tolerance level for now

What can I do with the rest (about 10 eggs)? I can't bake as I have no oven, just grill, microwave and hob. Can I freeze them raw and how? Can I make scrambled eggs/omelette and freeze without it turning into tire rubber when I heat it up? Any other recipes/ideas that will freeze?

I've got plenty of potatoes too if there is something to combine the two - I've never tried freezing those either. If using fresh I might make jacket potatoes where I scoop out the centre when cooked and mix up with egg and herbs and cheese then rebake - could I freeze those and should it be before or after the rebake. Also make a sort of layered potato/onion/egg/cheese/milk pie sometimes, again could I freeze and before or after cooking? (Do these by a mix of microwave and grill).

Are you thinking they need using up because of the use by date? I have eggs long after the date on them, drop them into a jug of water, as long as they don't float they are fine to cook and eat

yes thanks, these are about a week over already though and I don't like to keep them for too long.

This thread should give you lots of ideas:

Eggs eggs and more eggs!

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.
