Call for recipes from the eggheads

[muckefuck]

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.

Angel food cake with creme anglaise, that should use up 10-12 eggs right there

Do you like bread pudding? If so, I have several recipes that call for 8 eggs each.

DID YOU SAY.... EGGS?

Pasta. Use only the yolks, and a high-gluten flour (most bread flours are OK). If you don't have a pasta machine, if you mix the dough quite soft and roll it out with a LOT of extra flour, you can get it extremely thin by hand without killing yourself. (The excess flour helps suck up the moisture once the dough is thin enough.)

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.

-Eggs poached in marinara sauce.
-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.

I've got a nice curried egg dish that uses about 6 hardboiled eggs, IIRC. I'll email it to you if you're interested. Can be used as a main dish in a vegetarian meal!
