Egg recipes for people who don't like eggs...?(i.e. my children )

[NewPoultryMom2019]

Hello!
So I have 2 girls who just started laying. Now, I realize that MAYBE two eggsa day isn't a crazy amount. However, 2 out of 3 of my kids, and my fiance really don't like eggs. So, I'm afraid that since we don't usually eat a lot of them I'm going to end up with spoiled eggs and that is just sad!
I am looking for some "different" types of recipes with eggs - but not baked goods, as those aren't exactly the biggest hit in my house either (I blame my fiance, he is pickier than most toddlers, and my children have followed suit lol!)
I just saw a video for Shakshuka, which I'm hoping since the eggs are basically smothered in a sauce that will work.
Anyone have any ideas along those lines?

Homemade egg nog maybe? The recipe I use takes 12 eggs

Egg drop soup, by the time it's all mixed in there, they won't even realize it's eggs. SUPER simple to make. Plan on one cup per adult or older child. Your base will be chicken stock, can be made at home or bought at the grocer. Add finely sliced (in rounds) of green onion if you have some available, if not... oh well, but won't be as yummy. Add salt & ground black pepper to taste. Bring stock to a hard simmer (or take to a boil and remove from heat). Whisk in a separate bowl one whole egg per person, then while stirring your chicken stock, drizzle the egg into the stock while gently stirring in a circular motion with a fork to get the egg-strings. Serve hot.

How would they be with a custard or flan? The eggs would be well disguised and the flavor is lovely, of course, but some people might not care for the consistency.

Then there's ice cream. The Ben & Jerry's Sweet Cream Base #1 is wonderful and doesn't require any cooking. Just eggs, sugar and milk/cream. I used to keep a pitcher of it in the fridge in the summer. Then whatever fruit was ripe and plentiful I crushed up and churned in an ice cream freezer with the base. Of course, I gained a lot of weight doing that...

Eggs bind the meat in things like meatloaf and salisbury steak. Just don't tell them they're in there.

How do you think they'd be about a quiche or a soufflé'? Whatever you've heard about souffles they are not hard to do. The only thing is you want your family ready to eat when you take it from the oven but I believe the leftovers are yummy cold. You can do just cheese or any number of veggies or well diced meats like ham.

They'd never recognize eggs in homemade pasta and homemade pasta is a wonderful thing that is so much more tender and delicious than dried pasta! If you can make pie crust, you can do pasta. In French the word for pasta dough and pie crust is the same thing since they are so very similar.

Let me know if you want any recipes.

If you take ground beef, cook it most of the way, and then crack an egg in and mix it up, you get something that tastes more or less like ground beef still. Good in a sandwich.
Some sort of pancake-type recipe modified to be egg-heavy could be tasty. Or just regular pancakes. Maybe even waffles? They're not hard to make if you get a waffle maker, and kids tend to like waffles.

You could also give away your extra eggs.

Kudos for not just trying to force your kids to eat things they don't like! That's no fun for anyone involved. If you want them to try a new dish, bribery (i.e. dessert) works much better than threats or punishment, and then you get kids who like trying new things instead of kids who hate it.
Have you tried asking the kids what it is they don't like about the eggs? That would help you figure out what to do. Is it the taste or the texture you need to disguise?

Egg boats? They're baguettes filled with a mix of eggs, cheese, veggies/meat but even though they use up a lot of eggs (like I use 4 to 6 for one baguette), they don't taste like egg (which mostly work like binder for the other ingredients and otherwise just soaks into the bread). There's a variety of recipes if you google "egg boat bread." I usually make it with cheddar, bell pepper, green onion and ham.

French Toast, Bread Pudding, any flavor Pudding, homemade Mayo, Ceasar Dressing. Search Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Egg Casseroles. The Eggs are a binder for all the other Goodies...JJ

Thank you! I use to try and have my kids at least try things, until my oldest threw up one day(not sure whatbit was, this was years ago). So now I just always ask if they want to try, and then move on either way lol
