We already had a whole dozen newly bought eggs at home already but they were free and he couldn’t turn down a bunch of free eggs. However, there are only 3 of us here and if I don’t purposely use them up, they will go to waste. So. . . give me egg recipes! Especially egg forward dinners. If possible, an actual recipe or link to one. Pretty please?
Already planned-- Tomato Cheese and Bacon Quiche. And something I saw a long time ago and was intrigued by just the name: Eggs in Purgatory, which are eggs baked in spicy tomato sauce.
Not a recipe, a suggestion: If there’s a food pantry near you, inquire whether they’d take a donation, say one or two dozen? That way, they could go to people who could use them, if you can’t.
Another thought is to keep a dozen for over a month, then hard-boil them – old eggs peel way easier than fresh, and you’d have the makings for deviled eggs (yum!).
Oh, just thought of this: mince shallots, saute in herb and garlic butter (Land O Lakes makes it), whip some eggs with a dash of soy sauce, then stir into the pan for scrambled eggs. Fast, easy, and surprisingly good.
My husband GOT them from the food pantry at his job! The pantry runner had eggs he had to get rid of or throw away because the pantry was to be closed until the new year and so. . . rules. They gave away all the eggs they could and when the pantry closed, they were left with a whole lot of eggs, so they handed them out to employees of the not-for-profit he works at.
Oops! Heh. Sorry about that. But at least I now know that food pantries (some, anyway) will take fresh eggs. I’ll keep that in mind for my local one, maybe buy some to add to whatever nonperishables I bring in next time.
In my family, the usual Easter breakfast was biscuits, topped by sliced hard-boiled eggs (after the kids did the Easter Egg hunt), topped by cream-curry gravy.
You could not have known! Deviled eggs is a great idea and why didn’t I think of that? And here’s the thing about them-- Fried eggs? One, at the most two. Scrambled eggs? Two, even 3 if I’m super hungry. Boiled? Two tops. Deviled? I can eat a dozen! I just keep popping them in my mouth and before I know it, I’ve eaten 4 eggs worth.
My son once made soy sauce pickled eggs or black eggs. He can make some more and this time they don’t have to be quick pickled. He is also the eggnog maker in the family. Too late for Christmas, probably New Years too-- but it’ll still be winter when it’s ready!
