In exchange for occasional rides to work and excess garden produce my neighbor and co-worker keeps me supplied in fresh eggs from her small flock of hens.
A LOT of eggs.
I currently have 2 dozen in my fridge. That’s after giving a dozen to my landlord this month.
Really, it’s more eggs than I know what to do with.
Mostly, we eat them fried, scrambled, or in omelets. When I bake I use them, of course. The occasional batch of fried rice. I still have an embarrassment of riches.
What else can I do with eggs? Is it practical to mix them in with, say, tuna casserole? Any other ideas?
Flan (egg custard), make hard boiled eggs and add them to salads or keep them around just to eat. My neighbors keep chickens, there’s at least 20 of them now, they can’t get rid of all the eggs, best thing to do is toss them on the ground and let the chickens eat them and the bugs they attract. Cuts down on extra food and supplements they need.
Flour-free banana pancakes: blend (or vigorously stir) mashed banana and raw eggs together at a ratio of 1 banana to 2 eggs, and cook like small pancakes (small since they break apart easily). Serve with syrup or powdered sugar. They taste like banana with the texture of the inside of french toast. Very easy and tasty.
1 or two eggs
a few tablespoons of olive oil (enough to pool an inch or two deep when the pan is tilted up)
salt and pepper
Put oil in pan, heat up to very hot
break eggs into shallow bowl
tilt pan at ~30 degree angle, add eggs, continuously scoop hot oil over the top of the eggs for about 2 minutes until egg white is set (or longer, if desired)
season with salt and pepper
I’ll send Mr. Athena and the dogs over; we go through about 3 dozen a week, mostly because he eats 4 at a time and cooks an extra one for the dogs at the same time.
