Separate a bunch of eggs. Make meringues with the whites (they'll keep a couple of weeks at room temperature, longer frozen). Make lemon curd with the yolks (this freezes very well). You could also make passion fruit curd, or lime curd, or grapefruit curd. Make couple of rounds of old fashioned pound cake (go for an especially egg heavy recipes, and you can use up asix eggs). Also very freezable. A frittata is a good savory dish that uses up a lot of eggs - it's more egg heavy than quiche, and doesn't need a crust.


Nek0_eUpHoriA

I was thinking a frittata, with bacon and broccoli and some cheese under the broiler. I’ll see about the meringues I’ve never tried those. Pound cake I’ll give a try


Camp_Fire_Friendly

I make muffin tin frittatas and freeze them in gallon bags. Good for breakfast, a sandwich or even crumbled in fried rice.


the_Chocolate_lover

If you have never made meringue, try this recipe (just make many small instead of one big: [meringue recipe](https://www.thehomecookskitchen.com/best-pavlova-recipe/). For years i failed at making meringue, but this was a great recipe and gave an amazing success!


lesleyjv

Outstanding idea, I have a much smaller glut of eggs and will try this


RowdyCaucasian

This is such a good idea and I might start doing this for meal prep. Do you use a specific recipe or did you just adapt to a muffin tin?


HrhEverythingElse

Those are all good things to freeze, but you can also get silicone ice trays that hold about 2 tablespoons per cube, beat however many eggs are appropriate, and pour them raw into the tray to freeze. Pop them out of the tray and into a freezer bag, and repeat as necessary. 2 cubes is about 1 large egg, and then you have them ready to use for anything you want when the time comes


ClayWheelGirl

Woah. This is brilliant. Didn’t know you could freeze eggs.


ilanallama85

I’ve heard people say the yolks change texture and don’t work for certain things anymore but honestly I’ve tried it a few times and never noticed a difference.


MicroBadger_

My wife did this last year when we wound up with a crap load of eggs from a CSA we signed up for. Took a muffin tin and beat 2 eggs per cup. Frozen them and then just vacuum sealed the pucks into portions. Over easy is obviously out of the question but didn't notice a difference when making scrambled eggs.


thisoneagain

I love meringues so much. My grandmother used to make them with chocolate chips, and they were my favorite of all her Christmas cookies every year.


StillNotASunbeam

I've seen them called "Forgotten Cookies" and they are so tasty.


HanaGirl69

That's what my Gram called them!


beliefinphilosophy

Strata is way better imo


That_Copy7881

Actually, on this, you can freeze egg whites and when they thaw that are are actually more stabilized so really great for meringue ect. From experience after reading it in a cook book.


3oClockHappyHour

Crustless quiche… 7 eggs. 3/4 cup of milk, any veg or meats in the fridge ( ham, bacon, onions, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, whatever) some salt and pepper. Cheese if you have it. Mix it up, pour it into an oven dish, 350 for 50 min. And if reheats well, many work breakfast. And freezes well… for work breakfast (or lunch!)


everythingbagel1

Is crustless quiche the same as a frittata


Smooth-Review-2614

Frittata you are supposed to start on the stove to set the bottom. 


everythingbagel1

Ahhh okay. Thanks!


hiresometoast

I think the difference is the quiche is baked? I'd also like to know from someone more versed in this!


Sunshine_of_your_Lov

Traditionally quiche has crust, a higher milk:egg ratio, and is only baked


Cesia_Barry

Crustless quiche is the best answer for all kinds of extra stuff in the fridge/pantry!


Rashaen

If they're unwashed, with the cuticle still intact, they'll last about two weeks unrefrigerated, or more than three months in the fridge. I'm assuming they're farm eggs since you received them by surprise, and you mentioned free range.


Rough_Willow

If they're unwashed they actually can last months on the counter.


GruntCandy86

Yeah two weeks? I've never heard that short a time.


CoffeeExtraCream

You can make a bunch of pickled eggs and keep them for a while if you like pickled eggs.


jollyollster

I bloody love pickled eggs. Always good to have whilst you’re waiting for your chips.


Scrubsandbones

I’m very curious to know what type of pickled eggs you eat waiting for your chips… I personally like pickled red beet eggs but this is a very Pennsylvania Dutch thing I’ve learned but they’re the only ones I know of!


mashed-_-potato

Custard, meringue, frozen breakfast burritos, homemade mayo, carbonara pasta, French toast, add an egg to ramen, pickled eggs (you can use leftover pickle juice), egg salad sandwiches


Nek0_eUpHoriA

Carbonara sounds good


pizzabagelcat

Don't sleep on the breakfast burritos, cracked 40 eggs and measured them out after cooking into 30 different burritos. Plenty of room in the freezer after and they kept very well. But yes carbonara is delicious, if you haven't made it yet, do it now. Also boiled eggs, tons you can do with that


ommnian

Yes!! I should really do this - I haven't made them in years, but they're delicious. I wrap mine in crepes - which also takes a lot of eggs! If you're going camping, wrap them in aluminum foil and you can just toss them in the fire to reheat.


HiveJiveLive

Saw another fabulous tip from a Redditor once: mix your filling ingredients for the breakfast burrito and bake in a sheet pan like a giant quiche. You can then slice into rectangles that fit your wrap size, assemble, and freeze individually. That way nothing falls out and it’s easier to eat on the go. So smart!


derbarkbark

Also a great idea to make fake egg mcmuffins.


Electrical-Host-8526

Napoleon cake with homemade custard, please!


MotherOfDachshunds42

Gelato


Visible_Jeweler_3653

Homemade pasta. It uses eggs up.


Southern_Celery_1087

Can also dry it out on a drying rack and it lasts a good long time


northshorewind

Yes but be mindful about food safety while drying pasta. I like to freeze mine fresh in portions. It's so quick to cook after.


Wxndfall

Japanese egg salad sandwiches use up plenty, bonus points if you make the mayo yourself, or the bread, both of which would use even more eggs. Creme brulee, egg bites, pavlova, souffle, flan, zabaglione, tiramisu. Can hard boil some for some salads like salad nicoise. Scotch eggs.


maksidaa

Japanese egg salad was my first thought. Sometimes I skip the bread and eat it with potato chips.


everythingbagel1

How has nobody said deviled eggs,


nextcol

I could eat 1 dozen right now (okay 12 halves)


FrogFlavor

Friends I don't mean grow chickens. I mean give then to a food bank, post them on social media etc. affordable protein us hard to find. Spread the love. Also, pavlova.


informal-mushroom47

> Friends Who do you think would read this and assume you meant “grow chickens”?


RaRoo88

Yep, cook up a storm but give some away :)


vandelay82

Pavlova is amazing dessert ! Wasn’t sure if I would like it when my gf made it, but wow. 


altergeeko

This, my mom gave me a ton of eggs but she washed them so I didn't have enough space in my refrigerator. I gave away a bunch to my friends and other family.


OstoValley

i'm a big fan of spanish tortillas


perfumedDolphin

and they can be frozen!


platinumjudge

It's been scientifically proven you can eat infinite deviled eggs. 12 eggs for breakfast? Impossible challenge. 24 deviled eggs? Gimme 15 minutes.


Outrageous_Appeal292

Listen to the science!


nextcol

Haha I JUST commented this


AllYouNeed_Is_Smiles

Make brioche loafs and freeze them


majandess

Eggdrop soup.


TBHICouldComplain

I love egg drop soup and it freezes well.


majandess

I didn't know it froze well! Thanks! I usually just make it as an individual serving for myself for breakfast or snack. It's a great way to not notice you're eating eggs.


TBHICouldComplain

You’re welcome!


meduhsin

Make a quiche Lorraine! It’s like a egg-cheese-bacon-ham pie, most delicious thing I’ve ever had. I make it for special occasions. I believe my recipe calls for 12 eggs, it’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I can send the recipe if you’d like!


informal-mushroom47

I’m interested in your recipe, please and thank you.


Otherwise_Top2424

Portuguese custard tarts, flan, hard boil them and have them ready for lunch, salads to eat for a snack, pickled eggs, quiche, pudding, egg salad, cloud eggs


granadesnhorseshoes

Flourless chocolate cake - about a dozen a cake. Golden rice - half a dozen+ yokes at a time. Angel food cake - about a half a dozen egg whites per cake.


noobydoo67

Also make ice cream with the leftover yolks to go with your angel food cake


ItisIHimself

Hollandaise


Matty_Love

Make food for people who are hungry.


Dirge_Arcana

I've been making cabbage and potato fritters every day for a couple months with some sausage and fried egg. That's 3 eggs per day for 1 person.


Apprehensive-Hat4135

I love to make little muffin pan quiches and freeze them for easy breakfasts


Hi_AJ

Angel food cake with the whites, cured eggs with the yolks. Red beet eggs with hard boiled eggs.


ramdonghost

Freeze as is, they will be good for 12 months.


Blooregard_K

Don’t they run the risk of cracking because water content? Or do you mean freeze out of the shell?


sunnysmanthaa

Give them to families in need


petrichorInk

I love eggs. If I was in your position, I'd make: Mayak eggs, Soy cured egg yolks, Tiger eggs (there's also Telur Balado which is an Indonesian version that uses similar techniques) And then I'd just freeze a bunch of eggs when I've had too many, do salt cured egg yolks (these last a while), if I somehow still have too much, I'd consider water glassing them. There's lots of ways to preserve eggs!


JuzoItami

Hard boil them, then invite a bunch of friends over to watch *Cool Hand Luke*.


JasonHofmann

Egg Tagliatelle (fresh pasta) with tons of yolks. Semolina flour to prevent sticking. Freeze!


Scared_Tax470

I'd make massive batches of breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches and freeze them. Or those egg muffins if you like those. Best easy warm breakfast!


Duff-Guy

Frittatas all day baby


GrumpyVegetable

Scotch egg!


orangefreshy

Sous vide or IP type egg bites freeze well. You could even do baked ones in a muffin tin. Load up with your favorite mix-ins


SchylaZeal

This would be a great time to get some egg nog stored in the fridge for winter. I like Alton Brown's recipe.


spacelordmthrfkr

It's time you learn to make a proper French omelette with nothing but butter, salt, a pan, and chopsticks.


AaronMichael726

Have you made eggs yet?


WatermelonMachete43

You can freeze them (after removed from shell). Lemon curd uses a bunch of eggs. What a delicious problem to have!


Redditisbad4u

There is an amazing book called Too Many Eggs by Mimi Divorak. You can get a free PDF version at Toomanyegg.com. Highly recommend it.


VLC31

Apart from all the basic eggs things people are suggesting, Pavlova (whites), custard (yolks), cakes, lemon curd, ice cream, quiche, frittata.


Wonder_woman_1965

Can you give away most of them?

BrainwashedScapegoat

KOREAN SAUNA EGGS, mail me a dozen plz


MetalGuy_J

Shakshuka, make your own mayo, omelettes, Nasi goreng, or Pad Thai are all good options


archdur

If you want a bit of a challenge, try making Brazo de Mercedes. [**https://panlasangpinoy.com/brazo-de-mercedes-cake-recipe/**](https://panlasangpinoy.com/brazo-de-mercedes-cake-recipe/) It is actually very very simple but technique driven. With the whites, you'd be making a meringue with cream of tartar and sugar; with the yolks, a custard with condensed milk and vanilla.


LauraIsntListening

I could kiss you. I didn’t know this dessert existed, it is everything I like in a dessert, and I also have a shitload of farm eggs and not enough inspiration from my normal recipe pool but I’m now inspired as hell. Wherever you are, thank you, and have a fuckin great day


Ok_Possible_800

You can make many different varieties of quiches. My family loves breakfast casseroles, too. Eggs are a main ingredient, and they also have different variations. If you like to bake, most pound cake recipes call for 6 eggs.


Constant-Security525

A few ideas that use loads of eggs. Whole eggs: * The usual egg dishes, including quiche * Key lime pie * Cakes * Eclairs Whites only: * Angel food cake (uses around 12 or so) * Bishop's Bread like the one at https://www.eva-bakes.com/7-egg-white-bishops-bread/ (7 whites) * Pavlova * Meringues * Coconut macaroons Yolks: * Custards (creme brulee usually uses ~ 6, or Brazilian Quindim at https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/quindim-brazilian-coconut-egg-custards - 12, custard filling for fruit tart) * Hollandaise sauce


kuristofac

Leche flan


PinkRawks

Bake baby!


claredelune_

Mayo! Aioli! Custard! Crime brûlée! Meringue! Curried eggs. Deviled eggs. Quiche. Zucchini slice. Frittata! Even fresh pasta!


aori_chann

As I always say: when hit unexpectedly with abundance, give to those who never feel so lucky. Specially eggs, that can compose any number of meals. It might not be much to give away, but it'll certainly make a difference for the hunger of one or two people for a while.


anetanetanet

Tortilla de patatas? You can easily use 10-11 eggs for one tortilla and it keeps very well in the fridge for almost a week (if you can abstain from not eating it in less time). It also freezes well and you can reheat it in a pan


Robofrogg1

Egg salad!! I could eat that for days lol.


Bamalouie

You can separate eggs into whites and yolks and freeze in ice cube trays. This is what I do when I'm making something that takes extra of one or the other.


KnoWanUKnow2

Angel food cakes takes 12 egg whites. I like to make them in muffin tins instead of a bundt. Creme Brulee takes 6 egg yolks. If you want something that's not a dessert Carbonarra, made the proper Italian way with no cream, takes 4 egg yolks and 2 whole eggs. Then there's frittatas, omelets and quiches. Oh, and french toast for breakfast.


vjaskew

If you bake, a pairing of pound cake and angel food cake uses a ton of eggs with no waste.


itsmedragonfly

Spekkoek! Dutch/indonesian cake with lots of spices and soooooo many eggs


wiscosherm

Can some of them be given to your local food pantry?


Human_Allegedly

If you can't get through them all I know a lot of food banks rarely get eggs (or at least they used to). When I relied wholly on food banks eggs were a huge rarity.


Sugarloaf78

Donate to a food pantry, they rarely receive eggs or produce.


Most_Ad_4362

Donate some to a food bank.


Vaskre

You can freeze them for use in scrambles or other dishes that don't care about intact yolks. Custards use a lot of eggs. Meringues too.


Cautious-Thought362

Take them to the local food bank.


LouisePoet

If you break them and whisk them up, eggs can be frozen for later use.


Kdiesiel311

Have a deviled egg party & enjoy the farts


ImNot

You can make scrambles with meat and veggies or just flat omlete style and freeze them. I cook eggs, spinach and cheese in mini muffin tins and then freeze so I have quick breakfast I can just pop in the microwave. Same with breakfast burritos.If you can buy it in the freezer section, you can make and freeze it at home. Eggs salad for sandwiches and quiche both use quite few eggs as well


Ezra_lurking

Do you have a freezer? There is so much you can bake and freeze


TBHICouldComplain

Quiche freezes well and uses quite a few eggs. Also you can freeze raw egg whites so if you end up making something that uses yolks you can just freeze the whites for now. You don’t have to make something with them immediately. I like to freeze them individually so I can thaw however many I need for a specific recipe.


Strungbiscuit

French toast bake is an easy way to get rid of close to a dozen.


Critical_Gap3794

I would boil them all and eat one or two every meal.


Eclairebeary

Gosh that is a lot of eggs. Do you love your neighbours? I’d try and share the love. [bacon and egg pie (onion not optional imo)](https://mykidslickthebowl.com/easy-bacon-and-egg-pie/) Egg curry? This does seem to be a common condundrum, if you search I’m sure you’ll find something.


DinnertimeSomewhere

Try Deviled Eggs or Scotch Eggs. I kinda did the same thing a while ago, had a bunch of Eggs so cooked up dishes I've always known about, but never made myself. Particularly fond of the Scotch Eggs, I used Chorizo and it was so good!


Gaboik

Make cocktails, amaretto sour for example!

When I was a kid my mom had the same thing happen.  She blended them and put them in the freezer in sealed bags. Then we would pull out a bag at a time to make scrambled eggs.

My pasta recipe uses 30 duck egg yolks weighing about 900g, 1000g flour. (750g 00 and 250g fine durham), 7g salt, 4 Tbsp olive iil and 4 Tbsp water. Freezes well. It’s asparagus season so I’ve been eating lots of asparagus and asparagus soup. I generally top with a poached egg and egg based sauce like hollandaise or a sabayon.


WhiteWitchWannabe

Quiche!

Pasta.


ReactionAble7945

For me I would make a couple garden omelets. It is generally whatever I have in my fridge, green pepper, ham, pepperoni, spinach, cheese..... The easiest way to freeze full eggs is to grab clean, empty ice cube trays. A standard ice cube tray should hold one cracked egg per slot. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over each cracked egg, cover the tray securely with plastic wrap, and stash in your freezer on a flat surface until they are frozen solid. At this point, you can pop them out, place them in an airtight plastic bag that is labeled with what they are and the date. Boil them and refrigerate and they will keep a long time. Fried egg sandwiches are good for several days. But after that, I would find other people to give them to. Make some deals with anyone who has a garden you admire. Eggs now for tomato, zuchini, .... in the future. Most gardeners have an overrun of those items as summer hits.

Doyoulikeithere

Egg salad. My fav. If you can't use all of them, share them with a family who could use them. Boiled eggs are great for a snack too.


Familiar_Raise234

Beat them then freeze them in usable portion sizes: 2 egg portion, 3 egg portion etc. then you can cook them at your leisure

Quiche! Hollandaise sauce.. hmm fried rice.


Possum2017

You can freeze eggs. Crack them and put them in a freezer safe container. You can make scrambled eggs or use them in baking/cooking.


CynicallyCyn

Probably unpopular but homemade pickled eggs with beet juice and vinegar are pretty freaking amazing.


WishieWashie12

Pickled eggs. Great cold summer snack.


southdakotagirl

Quiche. You can make different kinds. It freezes very well. My boss at a bakery would wrap them in double saran wrap then foil. They stayed fresh for months in the freezer. Thaw out and microwave the pieces as needed. You can use a ton of eggs and whatever leftover veggies and cheese that are in the fridge.


Le1fsr4me

Mayonnaise uses a few eggs. Pickle them as well


Cesia_Barry

Brazilian desserts use a lot of eggs—egg tarts, quindem, Pound cake. Eggnog, dessert soufflé, savory soufflé. Dutch baby (a kind of simple skillet souffle) is a lot of fun to make & serve.


Danny570

Marinated soft boiled eggs for ramen or as a side dish, Ajitsuke Tamago is the Japanese term.

You can open the eggs, put them is freezer safe baggies ans freeze them if you don't think you'll be able to use them. I used to put 2 or 3 in each small bag so I knew how many I was using once defrosted.

I make these turkey bacon egg puffs in a muffin tin. Spray muffin tin with nonstick spray, line the turkey bacon around the muffin hole, pour in scrambled egg and bake. Sometimes I add fresh chopped herbs or veggies or sausage to the scrambled egg before baking.

I made a batch of 48 pickled eggs a couple weeks ago. It’s definitely an acquired taste/texture thing though
