Call for recipes from the eggheads
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
The local Safeminicks was running a sale on eggs last weeked. About a dollar a dozen, but you had to buy three dozen to get that savings. So now I've got three dozen eggs that I'd really like to use up in the next four-to-six weeks (because stale eggs, ugh!) Just making an omelette every morning would do the trick, but that would drive me insane inside of ten days.
So suggestions, people! I'm not on any crazy diet, so baked goods are kosher. (I promise I'll buy new ingredients this time to avoid another kitchen katastrophe.) Tell me your favourite things to do with the incredible edible egg.

(2) Do any of them call for bourbon?
no subject
I second angel food cake for egg whites but vote for lemon curd to use up yolks.

(2) Does this mean you're Better if not necessarily All Better?

I should also say that my recipe for bread pudding, which is from Antoine's in New Orleans, does not call for bourbon: the bourbon is in the sauce, which consists of butter, sugar, egg yolk, and, er, bourbon.

(2) Sadly, the recipes I have are from Eating Well magazine rather than from an actual authentic source, so they're bourbon-free. (IIRC, they also call for 4 whole eggs and 4 egg whites, while I suspect that a real bread pudding recipe would use all those beautiful yolks.) They're pretty good recipes for my purposes, but if taste is your only criterion, you'd probably be better off with something more authentic.

Yolk-only pasta is truly fantastic, and you can easily use 3 eggs per serving. Just a little butter and cheese is all you need. Your cholesterol numbers will prove it. ;-)

Flan
Creme Brulee
Lemon Meringue Pie
Clafouti (look it up, great with apples)
Egg Salad Sandwiches on Black Bread
Hard-cooked eggs make a nifty snack, but if you've cooked them too long and they turn grey, throw them out. Same w/ eggs for egg salad- it's the sulfur that makes people hate egg salad.
Fritatta are great for using up leftovers and are good cold with a salad
-as is Quiche
There's always the souffle. Which, btw requires all ingredients at room temperature. I cheat by adding extra egg whites.

-Scrambled eggs with tomatoes and goat cheese.
-Tortilla espanola with lots and lots of garlic.
-This crazy ukrainian dish called makaron that involves pouring beaten eggs over cooked pasta, then baking it until set. Eat cold with horseradish. (This is way better than it sounds.)
-Pavlovas and Dacquoises (sp?). Oh, these are lovely, lovely uses of eggs.
