Are you currently overloaded with eggs right now?! Trying to use up those many eggs that just keep piling up. I totally get it. If you own chickens normally summertime is when they are on overdrive popping out egg after egg for you.
So here are some recipes that use a lot of eggs you can try that’s not just the same old scrambled eggs or eggs on toast. Let’s make eggs exciting!
Not only Will I share several recipes with you, but I want to share a few ways you can sneak some more eggs into your everyday food, and you can even preserve eggs for later!
Ways To Use More Eggs
Here are some ways you can add more eggs into your meals. Maybe you have kids who don’t really like eggs, or you are just trying to use up more eggs, I have a few ideas for you!
- Add a couple eggs into your oatmeal! The kids will never be able to tell, and your oatmeal will come out extra creamy and delicious. Give it a go next time you make oatmeal!
- If you aren’t afraid of eating raw eggs you can put an egg into your smoothies for added protein. I would recommend only using eggs from your own chickens or someone you know well.
- Add some eggs into your soup to make an egg drop soup!
Preserve Eggs For Later
Now you know you won’t always be overloaded with eggs, right? A great way to save those extra eggs is to preserve them for winter when chickens tend to stop laying.
There are several different ways you can preserve eggs. I’ll just quickly mention some ideas and you can look further into any that spark your interest.
- Water glass eggs: You need clean eggs, clean jars, pickling lime and filtered water. Once you have those just follow a recipe it’s pretty easy to do and they should last you 12 to 18 months!
- Freeze eggs: They will need to be cracked into an ice cube tray or silicone mold with a pinch of salt. Place them in the freezer, then pop them out and store them in an airtight bag in the freezer! Pretty easy! The can last about a year this way!
- Freeze drying: This is more expensive it requires a freeze dryer, and your eggs are then dried and shelf stable. All you need to do once they are freeze dried is add a little water and they are ready to be used again.
