[bubba28]

Any good recipes to use up eggs? I get 6 eggs a week from a local farmer friend but i haven't been eating them recently so i'v got 18 eggs to use up. Any recipes will do, thanks in advance

Pancakes & Omelettes can be made up, lightly cooked and frozen if necessary, then simply reheated when required.

Egg based custards can make a nutritious and unusual (for these days) pudding.

A favourite savoury dish of mine which can be frozen is a cheese & potato pie - layers of parboiled potato (seasoned), grated cheese, chopped onion, repeated until a greased pyrex dish is nearly full, then several beaten eggs poured over. Bake in a 200degC oven for 40 mins.

Quiches are a good way of using up eggs - you can actually use an egg to bind the pastry too, gives it a lovely rich colour and taste.

Egg mayonnaise or egg salad sarnies.

Here's a link to a whole raft of recipes to use up hard boiled eggs:-

and from the same site, here's a recipe for Greek Scrambled Eggs which sounds absolutely yummy !

I think I've definitely used up all your 18 eggs now !

That looks like a really nice curry Jack ! I assume it would be ok without the cream (I detest the stuff but do adore all the rest of the ingredients) hehehe...

Hi jug (((((hugs)))))

I personally let the eggs cook for half the time suggested - I hate overcooked boiled eggs with the 'grey ring' that appears.
Are you gonna give it a go hun?

[Jugglering]

I most certainly shall Jack... I know what you mean about the grey ring... lol... it actually reminds me of an Goan Egg curry I came across about 35 years ago... absolutely delicious and I still make it today ! Ahhhh, those were the days eh ?

[jack daniels]

I love spicy food - not ott mind, just spicy enough to be able to enjoy (and so the jr jd's will eat it too)
Does the Goan egg curry have coconut in it? family not too keen

[Jugglering]

My recipe doesn't have coconut in....

I can't find my old recipe right now and don't have time to write it out again (off out shortly), so I've just posted a link (in reply to your other question) to another recipe I also use which tastes very similar.
