Have lots of eggs to eat? These are 101 recipes that use eggs and lots of them! Create delicious meals or desserts, or make on-the-go egg bites to enjoy. All of these recipes use at least 4 eggs!
Sometimes I find we have an overabundance of eggs in our house from our chickens. We give some away, but we try to use them as much as possible in recipes that require a lot of eggs.
Eating traditional eggs can get tiring, so we like to mix it up with recipes like soufflé, breakfast casseroles, custards, cream puffs, and cheesecake because we know they use up the most eggs in a single recipe.
Egg Storage
Did you know that if you have farm-fresh eggs that have not been washed, they can be kept at room temperature?
Eggs have small pores through which harmful bacteria can enter, but an invisible membrane protects them. Once they’re washed, this membrane is gone, so they should be stored in the refrigerator.
Store-bought eggs have already been washed before they go to the store so the thin membrane around each egg is gone.
