Hi ladies ![](icons/icon_smile.gif)
I am looking for some recipes using lots of eggs. We have O.D.ed on omelets, deviled eggs, egg salad & angel food cakes. I did freeze some and I am now making my own noodles, but they only use 2 eggs per batch. I can't be the only one out here with chickens and extra eggs. Thanks for the help. Mamalindalu

I'm still waiting for my girls to start laying!! Our Veterinarian's wife told us once that she got really good at making angel food cake, when they were overflowing with eggs.

My daughter found me this great cookbook several years back, it is called "Essentials Egg", it is edited by "Jane Donovan", it has some relly great recipes that I have never seen any where else. If you think you would be interseted, I will scan and email the pages to you, but I will need your email address, cause I don't know how to send them any other way...

How do you freeze eggs? Can you use them for baking/eating afterwards? I made some pickled eggs with some of my excess.
Excuse the mess & the noise, my children are making happy memories |

freezing eggs is easy, just break them into ice cube trays and freeze, when frozen , pop into ziplocks or whatever you use...then you can use them for baking or scrambled ...

I freeze my eggs in muffin tins since they are the larger size. |

Custard pies, quiches and pound cakes. I tend to give eggs to my elderly neighbors alot too. They don't have chickens.

Thank you for all the information girls! I have large eggs also. When I freeze them I have been throwing the yokes out since the ice cube trays are smaller than the eggs. I then use 2 eggwhites to one whole egg for an omelet to serve for breakfast. I will try the muffin tins, good idea. Do we need to prepair the tins first so the frozen egg doesn't stick? My neighbors are quite a ways away, but I do give as many away as possible.
Thanks again

Very timely thread - I tried the ice cube trays and what a mess - too big eggs - Hey girls... However, I too wondered about muffin tins but was not thrilled to put some type of oil in the pans - so I am excited to hear what others have done. I want to have eggs during the winter when the girls slow down - last year I just baked like a mad women and frozen the end results..

I do not put anything in the muffin tins, just put and egg in and freeze. When you remove the tin from the freezer you can place it in a small amount of water to loosen up the eggs and they slip right out. I do this for winter use because of the lower egg production. |

My neighbors are going to be selling there eggs because they have 20 chickens and are getting 25 eggs a day. And they cant sell them for what they should and the feed has doubled from 8.00 a bag of feed to 18.00 a bag. They are going to sell there eggs for only 2.00 a doz. Deborah
we have moved to our farm...and love it |

The extra large ice-cube trays are the way to go. As far as recipes, this is the perfect time of year for eggnog.
