Ten Ways To Use Eggs

So many eggs from the backyard birds … Here’s what to do with them!

I know not everyone has an abundance of eggs lying around, but I know SOME of you reading this do. I hear people talking about all the extra eggs they have from their backyard birds and I know it can get overwhelming when you have six or seven dozen eggs you don’t know what to do with.

I don’t really like eggs. I mean, I don’t hate them but I definitely need VARIETY when eating them, or I will grow so sick of them. They are an excellent source of protein though so I try to incorporate them frequently. Now I could eat Egg Salad Sandwiches nearly every day and never grow tired of eggs I think and maybe fried over medium. I have to get real creative sometimes though.  Need ideas for eggs you cannot/do not sell? Here are ten ways to use eggs you have on hand.

Ways to use the whole egg

Deviled Eggs

Breakfast Casserole – like this Egg’s Benedict Casserole

Dutch Baby – check out my friend Aliceson Bales at Bales Farms for a great recipe!

Frittata – my friend Sara at Field and Flour showed me the way of the frittata and now I can’t stop making them.

Ways to use the egg white only

Angel Food Cake – I can name three people AT LEAST who absolutely LOVE this cake, as in it is their favorite. Suprise someone you love with this light and fluffy delight. 

Meringue – spring is coming after all who doesn’t love a lemon meringue pie?

Macarons – I am TERRIBLE at making these. They always deflate 😫 somebody come show me how.

Ways to use the yolk

Lemon Curd – so fun to make, plus you’ll feel like you live at Downton Abbey when you eat it.

Homemade Pasta – FUN family activity. Be prepared to make a mess!

Hollandaise Sauce

Ways to get rid of extras

Give them to a soup kitchen

Gift them your friends and neighbors

Sell them, OR let your kids sell them. It’s like a farm/rural kids’ version of a lemonade stand.

When spring rolls around you know you’ll need plenty hard-boiled eggs to dye for Easter and such so keep those stocked in your fridge and you’ll have them for an easy snack anytime. There are WAY more than these ten ways to use eggs but this is a good starting point for you. Shoot me your favorites and I’ll share those later. I hope this helps!
