Call for recipes from the eggheads

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.

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.

Fortunately, I have at my fingertips the Rootbeer1 & Qbear Handy Guide to Desserts Wot Got Fruit 'n' Dough In 'Em at my fingertips, so I know just what puts the "fou" in a "clafouti".

I'm going to have to make some deviled eggs for [livejournal.com profile] snowy_owlet when she gets back on her feet.

Alternately, I could just say "Fuck doing anything else this weekend" and make that retés [livejournal.com profile] bitterlawngnome's been talking about. I'm sure that takes a lot of eggs.

Alternatively...

There are a number of tagines that have eggs cooked in them with the shells on that are quite lovely. Wouldn't that be tasty!
