What are Your Go-To Recipes for Using Up Eggs?

[GlicksChicks]

I have an abundance of eggs and I have been looking for egg recipes and most are the same recipe just add a different vegetable or seasoning.

So, what is everyone's go-to egg recipe? Let's discuss recipes that you have found that use up eggs, recipes you enjoy, and ones you find yourself going back to for using up eggs!

If there is a link to the recipe you use, attaching the recipe would be greatly appreciated!

I love frittatas. 12-14 eggs, and use up the odd vegetable leftovers too. I don't have a link, but google will give you lots of recipes. It is endlessly customizable.

I also hard boil a lot; they make a quick snack.

Isn't a frittata a crustless quiche? I have been wanting to make one of those! I think I will give it a try!

Boiling eggs, definitely a classic and addicting. I think I will do that too!

Yes, you can think of it that way! Since I'm GF, it works out well for me.

Just FYI: If you have an Instant Pot (or other brand pressure cooker), this works well for hard boiled eggs (for me, anyway):

Put the eggs on the trivet, add 1 cup of water. High pressure for 5 minutes, wait 5 minutes, and release the pressure. Put them in cold water.

I boil my eggs in a pot

Thank you for the egg tips!

I have a couple girls that lay all year long, in the northeast, without supplemental lighting! Oh and i am sensitive to eggs so only eat them when made in other things. So we have lots of eggs all the time too!

I love angel food cake. With summer bringing all the berries, and my new stand mixer to beat the whites, its my go-to, almost weekly!
Here is a recipe i use after searching a recipe using a dozen eggs!

Thank you so much! You could make a custard out of the yolks! It could be a great thing for you to put over your fruit!

Here is a link to a custard recipe I found and made! I also froze it and a couple hours before using it I put it in the fridge to thaw and I used it on some apple pie I had made! It worked well, I even supplemented the normal milk for oat milk because someone who ate the pie and custard is lactose intolerant!

Of course! I doubled mine! It is a good cold treat! I hope it helps with your extra yolks!

Lemon curd is my go-to! Very very easy, though a little tedious. Basically, measurements don't really matter. Gather a bunch of egg yolks, a good cup or two of sugar (depending on the amount of egg yolks, you want it kind of paste-y), then add a half cup to a cup of lemon juice (until it's a thick batter consistency), then put it over a double boiler, add a little salt, and whisk whisk whisk! Once it thickens considerably, add a tab or two of butter and take off the heat. Stir while it cools (you can cheat with a bowl of ice under your lemon curd bowl).
Making this without the butter means you can water bath can it and preserve it, but lemon curd is so high acid it actually keeps out at room temp for a few weeks, and in the fridge for a good couple of months (though it won't last more than one month in my experience haha! We eat it too quickly)! 10/10, truly. And, you can make a tart or pie with it and whip the egg whites into a meringue and broil it for a minute or two (or torch it) to have a really lovely lemon meringue pie that doesn't have that god awful gelatin texture!
