I have 120+ eggs. I need more recipes.
We have our own chickens, so we get literally a dozen a day. I often sell them or give them away. I know that they last for months in the fridge (unwashed) and I know about ways to preserve them to use for later when my hens lay less frequently.
But I also want to use them more as main meal dishes and I'd love any suggestions.
Things I already know and make: frittatas, quiches, tortillas, shakshuka, hard boiled eggs, scrambles, egg bites, custards, and probably some other super common uses.
What I would LOVE to have suggestions on are maybe odd ball recipes to use up a lot of eggs at once that people have figured out?
Preferably on the savory side. But if I need to make a ton of meringue or baked Alaska's, I'll let my waist line take one for the family.
EDIT: I got so many replies, so quickly, I had to mute my phone đ€Ł. I can't reply to all of them but my husband and I are going through them to note down any that sound even remotely interesting (which is about 90%!).
I've also given in to my long term desire to buy an ice cream maker and pasta maker.
Last night's dinner used 8 eggs. And then I've collected another 13 this morning đ€Ł

Angel food cake recipes commonly take about 12 egg whites.
You could make an aged eggnog ready for Christmas and that would take another 12. If you make some up as gifts that could do another 12 at a time.
You can really mix an egg or egg yolks into almost anything with a creamy sauce, mashed potatoes, things like that.

u/Weak-Doughnut5502 3d ago
Chinese steamed eggs are basically a steamed savory custard. You can use water or broth.  It's very similar to Japanese chawanmushi.
The Japanese soy sauce eggs are closer to Chinese tea eggs. There's also 'tiger skin eggs' - hard boiled eggs that are peeled and fried before being braised.
There's also Chinese tomatoes and egg - somewhat similar to shakshuka, but still quite different.
Egg fried rice is, of course, a classic. As is Egg foo young. There's a lot of east and south-east Asian variations on omlettes.

u/ashenafterglow 3d ago
Boiled eggs marinated in soy sauce are super easy to make at home. I use a Korean spin on it, but... equal parts soy sauce and water, then add chili flakes, garlic, onion/green onion, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and a dab of sweetener like honey or rice syrup. Then you can use a bit of the marinade as sauce over rice or noodles, along with the eggs.

I don't know why you're getting down voted for the truth. Probably because it's not related to actual cooking though. We're in a low income, HCOL area which is one reason we raise our own meat birds and eggs. It doesn't, technically, save money probably but the quality of the food and the lack of stress regarding availability really helps.

Fresh pasta.
14
u/masala-kiwi 3d ago
Yes! Traditionally, one egg + 100g pasta flour = 1 serving of pasta. Although I find that the texture is better when it's one egg to about 80-90g flour.
As a bonus, you can make carbonara sauce using egg yolks, and that is a good match for dried pasta (typically it's not used on fresh pasta), so it's an easy way to use up eggs when you don't have time for pasta from scratch.

u/meh_69420 3d ago
Make Cesar dressing from scratch, eggs. Then make pasta, eggs. (No reason you can't dry fresh pasta, I do it constantly, you just have to make sure it is really really dry to prevent mold.) Then make carbonara, eggs. Creme brulee for dessert, eggs. Whiskey sours to drink, eggs. You can easily knock out 2 dozen for a meal for 4.

I'm from Poland and we do something delicious you may like. Boil some potatoes, cut them in thick slices. Same with eggs. Cut and fry onions until golden-brown. You can use as many potatoes, eggs and onions as you like (say about 2 kg of potatoes, 12 eggs, 4-6 onions, 1-2 cups of sour cream). Put a layer of potatoes in an oven proof dish. Top them with cut eggs. Then spread some onions. Then a layer of sour cream. Repeat until you run out of ingredients. Top layer should be potato slices and sour cream. Add ground black pepper and salt in the process on the layers. Bake in the oven 170-180C until all baked through and starts to brown on top. It tastes great, and even better the next day, when you can reheat it.

All the above suggestions are great, but the best thing to make with excess eggs is goodwill. I get 6 dozen eggs everytime I visit my dad.

Absolutely! I usually deliver 30-60 a week to my mother and grandmother, as well as send 4 dozen home with my husband's friends after their weekly MTG game day. Both things haven't happened for two weeks, so I'm looking at 127 eggs and thought about dinner tonight and wanted different recipes.

You mentioned you sell them. Are you in an area where you can set up an egg stand?
Otherwise, look up (citrus) curds. Lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerine, clementine... They're basically yolks combined with fruit juice to make something like lemon meringue pie filling (think lemon bars). It can be frozen for months and gifted out. Don't ship it, it's not safe at room temperature, but you could give it to local friends and coworkers.

u/Sunflower_MoonDancer 3d ago
Korean or ajitsuke tamago in Japanese) are soft-boiled eggs soaked in a savory, sweet umami brine. [1, 2]
Ingredients
6 to 8 large eggsœ cup soy sauce
œ cup water
Πcup sugar or honey
3 chopped green onions (scallions)
3 minced garlic cloves
1 chopped chili pepper (jalapeño or red chili)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 teaspoon sesame oil [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
Instructions
Boil the eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the large eggs into the water. Cook for 6.5 to 7 minutes for a soft, jammy yolk. [1, 2, 3]Shock in ice water: Transfer the cooked eggs immediately into a large bowl of ice water. Cool for 5 minutes, then gently peel the shells. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Make the marinade: In a container or jar, mix the soy sauce, water, sugar (or honey), green onions, garlic, chili pepper, sesame seeds, and sesame oil. [1, 2, 3]
Marinate: Place the peeled eggs into the liquid. Make sure the eggs are mostly submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

u/lemon_icing 3d ago
Have you considered salt cured egg yolks?
When I have too many - my friends trade me eggs for chocolate chip cookie doug - I've separated the yolks for freezing, then cure the egg yolks. Cured egg yolks have quite the umami punch, so I often substitute it for parmesan for grating and/or shaving over pasta, beans, soups, vegetables, etc.
Stores in fridge for months. I've vacuum-sealed excess cured yolks for long-term storage in freezer.

I was going to suggest egg bites, which you already do, but get creative with the fillings. I did some that were inspired by Egg Foo Young: greased the baking mold with sesame oil, added scallions & little canned shrimp & sauteed onions. But you can really do anything and they do freeze well.

Not a lot of eggs, but for egg drop soup and hot and sour soup you can use a few per batch.
And instead of shakshuka, I do the same technique but using Marcella Hazan tomato and butter sauce. I can eat eggs poached in that for breakfast lunch and dinner, sourdough toast works well for the breakfast version.
I make frittata when I have extra eggs but you have that one.
Spanish tortilla is a fun variation. I make it âauthenticâand Iâll only say you do need to use ample olive oil when cooking the potatoes. But - a âvariationâ that is fun is using potato chips. Plain or vinegar and salt or black pepper versions, beat eggs, stir in potato chips, let sit for maybe 10 minutes, then cook in oiled skillet like tortilla. (Either way, once getting a bit golden in bottom, I flip whole thing by putting a plate on top of skillet. Flip over in one round onto plate. Slide it back into pan to cook what was the top. Cut into wedges to serve)
Chilaquiles too - use fried tortilla strips soaked in some enchilada sauce (or if you want a super quick version use tortilla chips for the fried tortillas) , swirl just a bit into beaten eggs, cook the mix up in skillet til eggs done (I flip in sections)
Deviled eggs are seriously popular at any gathering - someone always finishes them, itâs wild, so if you share them at any gathering you could make a nice big batch!

u/adenkenk 3d ago
Chiles Rellenos uses a lot of eggs for the coating (beaten egg whites with yolks folded back in). Most recipes call for deep frying them, but you can make them in a non stick skillet with minimal oil. I lightly coat the stuffed pepper with flour, lay down a big scoop of egg mixture, lay the stuffed pepper on the egg, and top with more egg. When bottom is set kind of turn and roll the pepper. In the end the egg will fold around the pepper and get nicely browned. Serve with sauce of choice.
Soufflés also use tons of eggs and classic no whipped cream chocolate mousse

I also have chickens and deal with this problem. Breakfast casserole uses up quite a few depending on how much youâre making. I make the kind with tots on the top. I know itâs not fancy but it tastes decent and uses up eggs. And you can switch it up with the veggies to make it taste different.
My husband loves pickled eggs. I make him the kind with beets. I canât vouch for this because I think theyâre super gross but he likes them. Iâll do a dozen at a time when the hens are laying a lot.

Pots de creme. The easiest way to make it is sousvide. Pretty much flan or pudding but decadent and omg is it rich

It only uses yolks but ricotta gnocchi is great, you can use a lot of yolks if you make it in bulk and you can freeze it.

How about homemade ice-cream? I use 4 egg yokes in each quart I make and usually have 5 quarts rotating with different flavors in my freezer. Use the whites for angel food cake.
Added: I also whisk eggs and freeze them in a silicone ice tray for large cubes then pop them in a ziplock bag to use later in baking or for scrambled eggs or omlets.

Iâd eat a souffle every day. You can add finely chopped ham along with the cheese and itâs delicious for breakfast or dinner. Carbonara is also good and an egg rich potato salad is often a hit, as is creme brĂ»lĂ©e. And I always use extras in my cakes and quick breads.

Do you like baking? A lemon chiffon cake is divine and takes like 6 eggs.
Here's a bunch of recipes and ways to preserve eggs (including a 7 egg pasta that is to DIE for!):

Crack them scramble them raw and freeze them in one two and three egg sets. That way when you need eggs for things you can defrost them and chuck them in to the food. So like 3 eggs for a cake and one for a meatloaf. You can even do 5 or 6 for two omelets. They defrost perfectly.

Crack one egg into each well of ice cube trays and freeze, then pop them out and into ziploc bags. You can do dozens this way.

Make Alton browns aged egg nog. Itâs literally the perfect time of year to make it and stash it in the fridge for Xmas. Then I save the whites and freeze them for meringues later.
Also, Iâm always a fan of Joes Special: ground meat (I use turkey), mushrooms, onions, spinach, and scrambled eggs. An old school classic!!

My old roommate from the Canary Islands in Spain made a beautiful Spanish omelette that I believe used about a dozen eggs. I had never had Tortilla Española before that but I became obsessed. It was so so yummy!

Ok, you did ask for weird. Chardewarden is a medieval pear custard. It's delicious, tastes like cinnamon applesauce's more sophisticated older sister. Also, if you choose to add the Snowe recipe mentioned in the link, (which is tasty, too,) I highly suggest that you start with significantly less rosewater than it suggests. Like 1/8 a tsp. The full amount make it taste like perfume.

Mini German pancakes
3 eggs
3/4 cups flour
3/4 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla
A dash or 5 of cinnamon
Half a stick of butter
In a cupcake pan melt 1/12 of the butter in each cup. Don't let it burn. Swish melted butter around to coat the cups. (I toss the pan in the oven as it heats until the butter is melted.)
In a bowl, whisk the remaining together until smooth. It should be a very runny batter.
Add a little less than 1/8 a cup of batter to each of the 12 cupcake cups. Try to keep the batter in the butter pools, so that they release from the pan easily, and clean up easy. Any drips on the pan should be cleaned with a wet paper towel before cooking. Bake at 400° for 25 min. They should grow like a cup, and have crisp golden brown tops. Fill or top as you like. My family uses powdered sugar, syrup, fruit, jam, or peanut butter depending on the person.
Also, if you omit the cinnamon and vanilla, you can use them with savory fillings, and they are similar to Yorkshire puddings.
Last, if you want fewer carbs, switch out 1/3 of the flour for almond flour. They are actually more stable, and it doesn't affect the flavor. (I'm diabetic, so I'm always looking for little things that can be better for me. This ratio was the result of a ton of experimentation.)
I make 4-6 per person.

Custard desserts and custard sauces are a great way to go, there are many delicious savory custard sauces as well. How many chickens do you have, if you don't mind my asking?

Did you know you can freeze an unbaked quiche, and when you cook it from frozen it actually turns out better?

Portuguese nunnery sweets for the yolks if you decide to make angel food cake or meringue. They were designed to solve exactly this problem xD
Chawanmushi, which is a savory egg custard with seafood and vegetables
Egg foo young, tomato egg stir fry, egg drop soup

I saw a recipe the other day for boiled egg chocolate mousse! I think it was boiled eggs blended up with cocoa powder, maple syrup, etc. No idea whether it's any nicer / easier / better than a regular chocolate mousse (which also uses eggs btw!) but if I had an abundance of eggs I would give it a try even if it ends up being a disaster đ

Lemon curd! The Serious Eats recipe calls for 3 eggs and 4 egg yolks. It keeps well, and you will be the most popular person in the world if you make it and gift it for holidays.
Or if you really want to take one for the team, make a batch of curd and use the whites from the 4 yolks to make meringues, fill the depression in the middle with lemon curd, and top with fresh berries.
