Eggs

[Scarlett]

I have 6 eggs that need using up tomorrow! Any ideas what I could make with them?!

Thanks!

[johntywino]

You could bake me a nice cake !

My eggs get used up when they get used....i have never looked at the sell by date on an egg.

As long as they're not weeks and weeks out of date, keep them until needed

[jen78]

A nice quiche or omelette or whisk them up for a nice meringue?

[abbie1977]

Use the yolks to make mayonnaise and freeze the whites to make meringues at a later date.

hardboil them and they will keep for another week or so. or you could have french toast or pancakes

[Scarlett]

Thank you all! I think I will go with Jen's idea although I don't know if you can make omelettes in a saucepan?

[WhiteBear]

French toast - slices of bread dipped in beaten egg and fried until golden brown (lovely served up with brown or soy sauce for breakfast).

Scrambled egg served on toast - a tasty breakfast or lunchtime snack, even nicer with some grated cheese thrown in.

Cheese & Potato Pie - layers of sliced parboiled potato (seasoned), thinly sliced onion and grated cheddar cheese, then 2 or 3 beaten eggs poured over the layers and it all baked in the oven 200degC for about 40 mins... great served up with simple steamed veg.

Hardboil the eggs, mash up with some real mayonnaise and season, then use to make egg mayo sarnies (nice with some crunchy lettuce or thinly sliced tomato).

Frittata - Mix together cubes of bread, cooked potato, chopped onion, grated cheese and beaten egg. Add to some heated oil in a frying pan for a few minutes then pop the pan under a preheated grill and cook until set and golden brown. Allow to cool then serve up in wedges with some salad.

yuk hammerman, up until three weeks ago I had exactly the same view as you, until I cracked my first (im heaving as i write this) off egg into the frying pan, OMG it was the worst smell ever. I havent been able to cook an egg since, and I really am heaving, I could never and I mean NEVER cook an out of date egg again. YUK

[hammerman]

That could've been "just one of those things" dove !!!....one off egg in how many hundred over the years ?

[theonlyone]

dove all have to do is crack the egg in to to
a cup before cooking it ..if it's off down the
pan !!

[crisgal]
