TKDmom Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 This morning I bought 3 dozen eggs for the co-op science class that I teach. Then I forgot to pack them into the car, and left them in my fridge. :rolleyes: So I called a friend and asked her to pick up another 3 dozen eggs for me on her way to the co-op. A lot of kids were absent today too... And now I have 4 dozen eggs sitting in my fridge. What would you do with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milovany Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 What would *I* do with them? Use them up in about two weeks without putting out any extra effort. ;) What should *you* do with them? They'll last for a month or even a little more if they are fresh. You could make oven pancakes; have some fried eggs for breakfast most mornings (yum); break a French-toast amount in to a glass bowl and beat them, then freeze them to use later; hard boil some and use for snacking ...

klmama Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Quiche. Frittata. Spanish omelette. Pumpkin pie. Pumpkin bread. Waffles. French toast. Pancakes. You could make and freeze any of these to be reheated later. The quiche, frittata, and omelette would be a little tougher, but still tasty for those meals you just don't want to cook.

MyLittleWonders Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 We would go through those within about 5 days. An extra four dozen on top of what I try to keep stocked in the fridge would just mean I didn't have to have dh pick any up before shopping day. :lol: What we do ... french toast, pancakes/German pancake, scrambled, fried, hard-boiled. We tend to have eggs as a meal almost every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busymama7 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 We wouldn't have any trouble eating them. But you can scramble them with milk etc and freeze in a ziploc bag. Thaw and cook as normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamblessed Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 We sometimes go through 5 dozen eggs in a weeks time! But then I also have 7 children-6 of those being boys with hearty appetites! My 7 yo loves to make scrambled eggs for everyone with his secret ingredients-basil, salt and pepper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamakim Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 My first thought was, "doesn't everyone have 4 dozen eggs in their fridge?" ;).

Jpoy85 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thats a lot of eggs. I would hard boil most and use as a snack or in salads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Well we got through a dozen eggs just having scrambled eggs or french toast for breakfast or egg salad for lunch. Add in any baking we want to do and we go through a couple dozen a week. You could go for the obvious things like quiche, omelettes, frittattas, boiled etc. I promise you will have no prblem going through them quickly.

Beth S Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Usually eggs can sit in the refrig for a month. There's a date on the carton. No rush! Serve a nice breakfast-for-supper tonight. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I buy seven dozen each week! We eat them scrambled, hard boiled, in egg salad, in baked goods, etc, etc, etc. We love our eggs!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be able to go through a couple dozen eggs a week, but we just don't anymore. I think it's because I started making green smoothies every morning for breakfast so dh isn't cooking himself eggs for breakfast anymore. And I don't like the smell of eggs in the morning. Besides, I think I turned into an egg snob when I started buying fresh eggs from a local farm. And these are the cheapo Wal-Mart eggs. :tongue_smilie: Edited October 9, 2012 by bonniebeth4 I'm coming to hate autocorrect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I would give them away to friends or to the food bank. At least most of them. Or I would use some of them to practice making Ukranian Easter eggs or other techniques that I had always wanted to try, like writing on them with white crayon and then dyeing them normally, or putting leaves around them in a design, holding it on with netting, and boiling them in tea to color them with sillouettes (no idea how to spell that, sorry), or something like that. Or I would blow a bunch of them out, and color the blown eggs, and then string them on fancy ribbon to make garlands for Easter. If you do this, knot the ribbon above and below each egg, and they will stay in position. I did this one year with sari ribbon and light brown eggs that I drew little abstract designs on with colored Sharpies, and it was very effective.

Parrothead Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'd hard boil a dozen for snacks. I'd use half a dozen in a broccoli fritatta. About a week later I'd use another half dozen in a strata. I'd give a dozen to my next door neighbor. That leaves a dozen to use as I regularly would between shopping days.

SwallowTail Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 We buy 3-4 dozen eggs a week, so I would just feel like my fridge was stocked. Pancakes or other baking projects are a good way to use a few at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn- Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'm with the group that normally keeps that many in the fridge. My family can go through 18 in one meal of eggs and bacon. I use 8 or 9 in the crustless quiche I make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby Rose Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 http://swimtaxi234.blogspot.com/2012/04/sausage-egg-and-cheese-casserole.html I would make this casserole - total YUM! That sounds good. I bet a little green pepper and onion in it would be the bomb. EGGS - Now this is something I know about. Our hens give us about 3.5 doz a week. I just steamed a dozen this morning for deviled (angel) eggs. They will be gone before the day is over. :001_smile: I do feel bad for you having to eat cheapo WM eggs though. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy in NH Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 We have fresh eggs, but they're too difficult to peel for hard boiled. Walmart eggs would get used for egg salad or deviled eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Well I'll have you know walmart eggs are not all that bad. They are the only kind we get because they are the only kind I can afford.

Sukale Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I would make a pound cake or two. They each one would use 6 eggs. We also love deviled eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Dh and I eat 2-3 each in the mornings. So, we could go through a couple dozen a week with just the two of us! I'll use a few more for making mayonnaise or egg drop soup or quiche or crustless sweet potato (or pumpkin) pie, etc, etc... Back when we used to eat sugar and wheat (alas!), I would make pound cake. Pound cake is beautiful and wonderful -- and you can freeze them to give as gifts. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Sorry, I'm too lazy to reply to everyone on my phone...but I appreciate all the suggestions. SwellMomma, I was (mostly) teasing, too. The only problem I've ever had with Wal-Mart eggs is when I don't check to make sure the shells are intact before I stick them I the cart (coming home with half a dozen broken eggs does wonders for a person's memory, though). A frittata for dinner sounds lovely. And dd11 swoons over deviled eggs. And pound cake...:drool: how could I forget about pound cake??

LostSurprise Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I would make a double batch of chocolate pudding. Then I would freeze some for pudding pops. I would make brioche for cinnamon rolls. Then I would make a batch of vanilla custard to put into those rolls. I would make deviled eggs or egg salad (actually I would tell the boys to make one of those since they made them so much over the summer). I would have only 1 dozen left. I'd probably make and freeze some pound cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfamilygal Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Make noodles and freeze them! Seriously, you could get 3 meals worth of egg noodles. Just mix with flour and a little salt and roll them out on a table. Cut with a pizza cutter, let them dry and then throw them in the freezer in a baggie.

Lady Florida. Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 You could make breakfast burritos and freeze them. Even though there are only 3 of us, we'd have no problem going through them quickly. I don't buy that much normally, but if I somehow ended up with 4 dozen, I could easily use them.

OP, I thought of you this morning as I proceeded to crack 10 eggs for breakfast for the kids and me. I actually could have used the entire dozen; we all, even the baby girl, seem to be able to eat more than 2 eggs a person for breakfast.

AdventureMoms Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Well, we go through about 2-3dozen a week, and eggs last at least a month, so I'd just not buy eggs for a bit. We scramble them, fry them, devil them, hard boil them, stir-fry with them, etc. Crustless quiche, frittata, huevos rancheros, deviled eggs, egg burritos, egg casserole and egg salad are all popular dinner options around here if you prefer not to eat them for breakfast. One egg-based dinner would use up at least a dozen for a family of 6! We prefer farm-fresh also but don't particularly have a problem with Walmart or whatnot. If that's what I had on hand we'd eat 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
