Lots of eggs here too. so this morning I have made banana muffins, Louise slice and sultana cake - - which is in the oven smelling divine (probably due to the large amount of bourbon in it! but it uses 5 eggs.)
I stupidly bought a tray of size 8 eggs because they were only $3.99 - I discover now that we already have a few left in another carton, plus another dozen size 7's. Uh oh.... Please give me some recipes and ideas to help get through them in the next week or so??

1kg, your abundance of eggs will keep well for a good while yet if carefully stored - I keep a few handy for immediate use in the kitchen/laundry but the rest I keep in their tray/carton in the garage where it's much cooler, and they keep for ages; in fact well past the date on the tray/carton.However if you really want to find uses now for those eggs there's plenty of help available - have a look at:-
try doing a search here on this Trademe MB using eggs as the Keyword and Last year as the Date posted option.
Some suggestions off the top of my head are: bacon and egg pie, baked egg custard, frittata, omelettes, quiche, souffle, pavlova/meringues, citrus curd (lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit) curd to use e.g. as a pavlova topping, curried eggs, convent eggs.....
Hope that helps.
I'm not surprised that you were tempted to buy those size 8 eggs - IMO very good buying.:-))

I make meringues and lemon curd on the same day - one uses three or four yolks and the other the same number of whites. Because you don't have to eat them right away - both keep for months if stored properly(airtight container for the meringues and fridge for the curd).
Which still leaves you within your weekly egg-eating quota to have a nice self-crusting quiche for dinner!

Friend was unwell so the DIL made a frittata for 4 adults & 2 toddlers using 14 eggs.Friend said it was very nice but upset the 14 eggs were organic free range so a bit expensive.Tasty though.
