I love this list! Our family loves egg recipes, so this will come in very handy. Thanks! And thanks for including my recipes for Eggie Rice Cups and Egg Casserole Bites.
We have our own hens and eggs! I just invite my son and grandson for breakfast when we have a lot!!
A lot of times I make things that call for egg whites, so I am “forced” to make Lemon Curd with the left over yolks. The first couple times I made it I was very intimidated, but it is a quick and easy recipe. Lemon Curd in my house is mixed with Greek Yogurt and then topped with fresh blueberries for a simple and sensational dish and if you want to be generous add a chocolate cookie.
Can I please get your wonderful sounding recipe? I just hate not being able to use the yolks every time I need the whites only. Thanks so much.
Sabayon is a FABULOUSLY decadent dessert, easy to make and uses yolks and wine to make a custard that u can top with or layer with fresh berries or any preferred fruit
I was in a same situation once: Used to have 14 eggs per week! (from my 2 “chicks” running around the garden). Luckyly for me, my front-door neighbour had made out of his garden a kind of mini far. We ended up exchanging goods (he would get my eggs, I would get some fruit and veggies)….miss those times!

Here some extra things to do:
Meringue made from egg white, white sugar
Advocaat, which is an alcohol made from egg yolks, sugar, brandy or cognac, vanilla
flan
chocolate mousse
biscuits
etc…
Wash your hair with them. Maybe just use the yolks and not overly hot water to avoid scrambling them in your hair.
