Egg-Cellent Egg Recipe Collection (1)

It was spring and the chickens wereincreasing their egg production!

Two chickens out of seven began laying in the fall before the dark days of winter set in. They continued to lay once every other day or so. We were saving up the eggs collected to enjoy on the weekend. All of a sudden the nest boxes were busy as the girls waited in line for their turn. We started collecting three per day, then four, then five, then six! A half dozen of eggs a day adds up quickly.

With three-dozen eggs in the fridge and growing, I put a call out to my blogger friends to see if they would be willing to share recipes and uses for excess eggs. I am thankful that they heeded my plea and provided so many recipes to share and enjoy for every meal plus a few snacks as well.

  1. There is a great 12-egg pound cake recipe on youtube under Sweet Melissa’s Catering. To use up more eggs, I use 14 egg yolks plus 5 whole eggs instead of the 12 whole eggs; then use the 14 whites in angel food cake (12) and seven-minute frosting (2).

    1. This sounds like a great way to use up a dozen eggs. I will look for it. Thanks for posting!

  2. Wow! What a post! I’m definitely bookmarking this one. We’re only getting 3-4 hens this year but I’m sure the eggs will still pile up.

  3. Rachel, What a great idea! I will definitely bookmark this wonderful list of recipes. My favorite ways of using eggs are frittatas and souffles; I also love grilled cheese and egg sandwiches with a cup of soup for lunch.

    1. Jean, Grilled cheese and egg sandwiches are a favorite here too! I know I will be trying so many different quiche and frittata recipes. This list will keep things interesting.

  4. I loved the title how to make a quiche without a recipe title. That is just what I do too. I use 1/4c milk (I use soy) to one egg. You can pretty much do anything from there and use any size dish too. Just pile things up in the crust layering whatever cheese you like with veggies and or protein (though first cook things that release moisture like mushrooms, and squeeze the liquid out of cooked greens).

    1. Daphne, I have a feeling we will be having quiche a lot and will make it with whatever we have on hand. So this recipe will come in handy until I get the hang of it.
