I have chickens, which means I have more eggs than I know what to do with. So... what are your favorite recipes that use plenty of eggs? (Besides egg salad, deviled eggs, omlettes...)
One of the things I'd like to try is a Chinese custard tart recipe, such as this: www.recipezaar.com/42189
Has anyone made these? Any recommendations?
Thanks.

Sun, April 6, 2008 - 5:33 PMMeringue stuff. Angel food cake. Sponge cake. Brownies (can use 2 egg yolks for each whole egg in most brownie recipes).

Sun, April 6, 2008 - 5:39 PMQuiches, custards, frittatas, souffles.
You may entertain giving some away or selling them before you get egg-logged! -

Sun, April 6, 2008 - 9:13 PMIf you lived closer I'd take some off of your hands. I think selling them would be a great way to get rid of them. Frittatas are my fav lazy omelette.

Re: eggs, eggs, eggs!
Sun, April 6, 2008 - 9:50 PMLemon meringue pie is a way to use the whole egg. The yolks go in the lemon curd and the whites go in the meringue.
Chiles rellenos. I make the batter with the beaten yolks folded into stiffly-beaten whites (there's more to the recipe than that, of course).
Aioli. Lots and lots of aioli.
Frittatas, stratas (I use sourdough bread, sharp cheddar, and diced ham to make a sort of savory bread pudding), real bread pudding, flan/creme caramel, ice cream, Joe's Special (ground beef, onions, spinach, with egg scrambled in at the end), souffles. I have made breakfast sandwiches from scrambled eggs and sausage on a biscuit, then wrapped well and frozen.
Good luck with all those eggs! -

Mon, April 7, 2008 - 1:24 AMFresh eggs would go well in a morning protein shake.
I'm a big fan of quiche'. Spinach and BACON!
Or meatloaf surprise. It's just regular ground meat of your choice with a bunch of whole, hard boiled eggs mixed in. When you slice it up you get these wonderful little egg surprises inside. =)

Re: eggs, eggs, eggs!
Mon, April 7, 2008 - 3:17 AMEggs used to be stored in agar during the long months in the wagon trains. I bet there's a site online that gives the details.
Fresh eggs always go well at the farmers' market. If you don't have enough to sell, then perhaps one of the vendors will sell what you have at their own stall.
Angelfood cakes take a lot of eggs, as do sponge cakes and pound cakes. They're also used in breading and frying meats. Egg makes a great facial if you can get used to the smell (the yolk is best for that).
Deviled eggs
tea dyed eggs
pickled eggs
place a hard boiled egg or two in your meatloaf
make pasta -- Some people like chopped hard cooked eggs in their lasagna
When you get sick of eating eggs tap a hole in each end and blow the insides out then decorate them for spring or winter holidays.
If you have a dog, a raw egg in their food is supposed to make their coat shiny.

Mon, April 7, 2008 - 8:50 AMEggs Benedict.
Homemade custard-style ice cream.
Or just make the custard.
Devine recipe from epicurious that is called:goat cheese souffles in phyllo cups with frisee salad

Eggs yolks are great on the skin as a mask. Look for homemade beauty remedies with eggs. I feel like I've read its great for the hair as well.
If you want fluffy, feather light baked goods or pancakes always seperate the eggs and whip up the whites, and fold them in. The extra air adds volume and lightens the texture of the baked good. -

Mon, April 7, 2008 - 9:19 AMPoach eggs and top arugula or bitter greens with them for a yummy dinner salad.
Make up a big batch of lemon curd and give jars away as gifts.
Then make pavlova with the leftover egg whites. This Nigella Lawson pavlova recipe is really simple and amazingly good.

Or use 6 eggs to make a flourless chocolate cake:

This Thomas Keller Lemon Tart is also excellent:

Re: eggs, eggs, eggs!
Mon, April 7, 2008 - 10:11 AMPerhaps you can start experimenting with making your own mayonnaise.
There's also Scotch eggs or just pickling a bunch of hard-boiled eggs.
Actually that's kind of a nice problem you're having!

I was about to recommend both! I just made scotch eggs for our BBQ on saturday and it was everyone's favorite dish. And we pickle eggs and they're sooooooooo good. My parents are on a cruise right now and we're going to leave a jar in their fridge for their return. :)
