It was spring and the chickens were increasing their egg production!
Two chickens out of seven began laying in the fall before the dark days of winter set in. They continued to lay once every other day or so. We were saving up the eggs collected to enjoy on the weekend. All of a sudden the nest boxes were busy as the girls waited in line for their turn. We started collecting three per day, then four, then five, then six! A half dozen of eggs a day adds up quickly.
With three-dozen eggs in the fridge and growing, I put a call out to my blogger friends to see if they would be willing to share recipes and uses for excess eggs. I am thankful that they heeded my plea and provided so many recipes to share and enjoy for every meal plus a few snacks as well.

Meanie, thank you so much for sharing your Egg and Butter Coffee recipe! I am looking forward to trying it.
Thank you so much for including my post about what to do with leftover egg shells. With all those delicious recipes, there is going to be a lot of eggs shells!
Anna, Thanks for sharing. I usually just toss the egg shells in the compost bin, but now I know there are many other options.
Great round-up! Thanks so much for sharing some of my recipes! 🙂
Raia, Thank you for sharing your Carrot Egg Scramble recipe. This is one we will be trying soon.
Great recipes! I’ve got plans running through my head now. Make sure you share something at the blog hop this Friday. I love your content and writing style. MEMama3 (BYC)

Oh, this makes me miss our Chickens!! We are working with the city council now to make some changes in the ordinances so we can get them again at our new place!!
I hope you are able to have chickens soon. Just bookmark or pin this post for later 🙂
Wow – You should publish a Blurb book,
I loved the title how to make a quiche without a recipe title. That is just what I do too. I use 1/4c milk (I use soy) to one egg. You can pretty much do anything from there and use any size dish too. Just pile things up in the crust layering whatever cheese you like with veggies and or protein (though first cook things that release moisture like mushrooms, and squeeze the liquid out of cooked greens).
Daphne, I have a feeling we will be having quiche a lot and will make it with whatever we have on hand. So this recipe will come in handy until I get the hang of it.
Rachel, What a great idea! I will definitely bookmark this wonderful list of recipes. My favorite ways of using eggs are frittatas and souffles; I also love grilled cheese and egg sandwiches with a cup of soup for lunch.
Jean, Grilled cheese and egg sandwiches are a favorite here too! I know I will be trying so many different quiche and frittata recipes. This list will keep things interesting.
Wow! What a post! I’m definitely bookmarking this one. We’re only getting 3-4 hens this year but I’m sure the eggs will still pile up.
Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog hop, I’ll be featuring you, so please feel free to grab my Featured Button! Have a great week!

Kathy, OMG! Thank you! I will be proud to include your featured button on my blog. Thanks so much for sharing my post!
There is a great 12-egg pound cake recipe on youtube under Sweet Melissa’s Catering. To use up more eggs, I use 14 egg yolks plus 5 whole eggs instead of the 12 whole eggs; then use the 14 whites in angel food cake (12) and seven-minute frosting (2).
This sounds like a great way to use up a dozen eggs. I will look for it. Thanks for posting!
Can I add one more to your list? I found this recipe from 150 years ago that uses 5 eggs (the original recipe called for 10!) But it turned out absolutely amazing.

I also will baked eggs individually in muffin tins and add them to english muffins with bacon and cheese and freeze for breakfast sandwiches.

Lauren, Chicken pudding sounds like a meal that was commonly served using fresh, available ingredients in the 1800s. A great addition to the list. Thanks for sharing 🙂
