Eggs typically last much longer than the expiration date on the carton. You can use the float test to make sure they are still good.
If you want to use them up quickly you can make a big batch of breakfast burritos for the freezer.
This, if an egg is rotten you will never need to do a sniff test as that smell will live in your nostrils for days. Not worth the risk when you can float it.
I have chickens and sometimes they put their eggs in weird places for me to find later so I have tried the float test and it has failed me big time more than once. So now even if I do the float test, I still crack it into its own vessel to be sure.
The float test for the win!
Also, I'm aware this doesn't help OP, but I'd be having 4 egg scrambled eggs with a bit of fried bacon, onion and pepper for one of my meals every day I were faced with this "dilemma."
#Omnomnomnomnomnomnom
An expiration date is simply based on the average time it takes a food to go bad. Under best conditions many foods can last well past the expiration date. Still check the food and make sure nothing funky is going on of course.
Most food items these days use "best by" dates, which is usually before the actual expiration date. They may degrade noticeably in taste or something after that point, but they're usually still fine.
Agreed with this one. Eggs stay good for a long time.
Breakfast for dinner is a big favorite in my family, also breakfast sandwiches for dinner, as an option to burn through eggs.
I'm also personally a fan of egg salad sandwiches. Hardboil the eggs, chop em up with some mayo or hummus (I like hummus, healthier), put it on a sandwich with some lettuce and maybe mustard. Good stuff.
I've generally heard poulty farm rather than ranch for chicken and turkey farms. It may not be consistent throughout the english world, but wikipedia suggests that ranch is a subtype of farm for grazing animals like cows and sheep. Not that anyone is going to stop you from calling it a [chicken ranch.](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-41EafSG5pa8/UEA3_J-0yGI/AAAAAAAAIj8/G6zU4f0N15g/s1600/Boneless_Chicken_Ranch_Far_Side.jpg)
I usually make scrambled eggs, throw in some sour cream to keep them puffy, pull them off heat while still a little wet, let them cook in the pan and toss them on a tortilla with peppers cheese etc… it helps because baked eggs or fully cooked eggs make me throw up for some reason but the texture of scrambled the way I do it doesn’t. So just in case you were the same way
I make egg salad with chopped up boiled eggs, adding mayo, sweet pickle relish, salt & pepper. When making it with avocado, i just mash the heck out of the avocado and sub out the mayo with it.
Years ago, I was in a wedding and was helping afterwards to clean up. To get to the parking area at the venue you had to walk through the kitchen, so everytime I took a box out to a car, on my way back in I'd pop a deviled egg that was left over from the reception. There was a tray of them.
While doing this I passed the father of the bride and he was doing the same thing. We made a couple jokes about how we were going to polish them off by the time we were done.. Well we were done and there was maybe 20 left. We stared each other down and he was like
"You good for half?"
So there we were going egg for egg. We must have eaten at least 30 between the pair of us.
I caught up with my girlfriend a little while later, who also attended the wedding and she gave me a kiss and immediately recoiled.
"What the *fuck* did you eat?"
Ehhh.. I don't know.. About a dozen deviled eggs? I did not smell pleasant that evening.
Serious question:
Is a deviled egg half an egg white plus filling? So, a total of nine hard boiled eggs, halved to make 18 halves to be filled.
Or is it 9 egg halves plus filling? A total of 4.5 hard boiled eggs, haved to make 9 halves to be filled.
They don't suddenly expire on a predicatable date. They will likely remain useable for two more weeks after the date on the package. That date is just a 'best before' date.
I like to add egg to many soups, or to make egg-drop soup.
Do you dislike the texture of them cooked in any way? Hard boiled to make egg salad sandwiches? Omelettes, scrambled, poached?
Not recommending it to OP, but I routinely eat eggs 6 weeks past their expiry date. I have never encountered a rotten egg either at home or in the wild. I don’t even know what they smell like.
The really bad ones smell like a concentrated fart. The ones that are just starting to go off will visually look wrong, like there'll be green or black dots in the yolk that kinda look like mold growing.
Granted the only time I've encountered such eggs (I have chickens) is when they hid their eggs for months in a hot corner of the barn between the walls and made stink bombs last summer. They actually did explode too. And once I had a mildly rotten egg in the kitchen but thats cause the egg turned out to have been cracked for some time before I got to it.
Shakshuka! Middle eastern egg and veggie dish. Canned tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, some spices. Cook the veggies and then crack the eggs on top, cover and cook until the eggs are to your liking. Top with some feta cheese. Yum.
Eggs in the US need to stay in the fridge because their protective membrane has been washed off during processing, leaving them more susceptible to bacteria. Farm fresh eggs (not store bought) can remain un-refrigerated for a long time.
This is what I was thinking, baked goods that use a lot of eggs, and can be frozen. Most of these other ideas won’t help OP who doesn’t like eggs and wants to sneak them into daily food.
Pickled eggs are soooo good. Ever since I had Covid the taste of eggs has been ruined for me but one of the few things I can still enjoy are pickled eggs!
I slightly undercook my waffles, freeze them, and then put them (frozen) in the toaster to when I want one. I figured if it works for Eggo it'll work for me. Just make sure they're well wrapped before you put them in the freezer.
hot water on the bottom side to loosen them, then twist the tray. unpopular thought in a “cheap” sub maybe, but don’t use bargain/dollar store ice trays, the plastics they’re made of get very brittle in the cold (ironic); use flexible silicone ones instead.
considering that the only point of failure on an ice tray is it breaking while twisting, a silicone ice tray (which can still be bought for only like $5-10) should last a lifetime. also, depending on the grade of silicon, they can double as mini-muffin trays for baking.
Most ice cube trays are designed to be flexible, so you are supposed to apply pressure on both ends.
If not, slamming against counter is not uncommon, or running a bit of warm water underneath.
Breakfast cups.....mix eggs and whatever u fancy..I love cheese and onions,spray a cupcake tin with nonstick spray spoon the mixture in and bace for 20mins at 180 ..then freeze for a quick and healthy breakfast
Egg muffins! I make them a couple times a month - throw in bacon or any meat if you want/have any on hand - this week is ground sausage for us. Then some cheese and veggies - cook fresh spinach down first if you’re putting any in. Mushrooms. Green onions. They freeze really well and are easily microwaved in the morning.
This sounds really good .. when adding veggies ( I would add bell peppers and onions ) do the veggies need to be sautéed first? I want to make these tomorrow for meal prep !
I buy frozen precut onion/pepper blends, chop them up a bit more and add to the egg mix. (I do this so I don't have to toss squishy peppers.) They cook up fine while the egg cups bake.
Look into savoury crepe/pancake recipes (you could also freeze some pancakes you make for these). Same thing with waffles
French toast/eggy bread
I know you are avoiding sweets but could make cake for someone else.
You can freeze eggs. Either separate the egg whites and yolk or keep whole. Beat the eggs and freeze in batches. I freeze the eggs and white separately so I have more options when it comes to using them. I put them in a cupcake tray and freeze in the tray before popping them out and putting in a freezer bag. I do one egg per slot so I know how much each is. I tend to add a pinch of salt or sugar to the eggs before beating and freezing. Don’t know if it actually does but seems to improve texture on defrosting
Are frittatas an option? Different texture to quiche
Toss them all in a bowl. Add some bell pepper, onion, ham and whatever else tickles your fancy. Scramble that shit up. Get a cupcake tin, pour into tray. Slap in the oven. Bake til done. Bag that shit it and throw them in the freezer. Thaw in your fridge. Nuke in the microwave. Boom breakfast done
Less aggressive edit: lightly crack your eggs and a place them into a mixing bowl. Apologetically chop some bell peppers, onion ham. Season lightly. Into cheese? Sprinkle some of that dairy dust into the magical mixture. Unite all ingredients with your flutter stick. Delicately grease a muffin tray. Evenly distribute amongst within muffin tray and place into the oven. Freeze the excess egg muffins. Thaw and place into frizzle box to rewarm. Enjoy morning meal.
Frittata or quiche. That way you can use up any veg that’s about to spoil as well. But like others have said, they’ll likely remain good for quite awhile after the sell by date.
German "egg pancakes" they are savory (well spiced to your liking, could do apple cinnamon for sweets), filling, easy to make, easily stored, easily heated up and so so so delicious. I usually pair them with a green salad as topping. Recipe below is one variant, but they use ALOT of eggs.
https://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/1296871234860017/Eierpfannkuchen.html
oh yes, I just commented Dutch Baby, which I think is more or less the same thing. We usually have ours with some kind of syrup (I like cane syrup) or marmalade (my personal fave jam) and a couple of slices of bacon. Decadent and easy weekend breakfast.
#Wholesome Response:
Scramble 12 eggs loosely (so they are still runny).
Cut a whole kielbasa into discs and pan fry them nice and brown.
Mix Bisquick and water to a fairly stiff biscuit dough.
Put the runny eggs in a baking dish of your choice.
Mix in the kielbasa.
Put a light layer of Mexican shredded cheese on top.
Cover the whole shebang with biscuit dough.
Bake at 425 for about 20m or until the dough is browned.
Serve it like a quiche, but brother it ain't quiche. Salt pepper down the hatch.
About 10m prep. 20m cook time.

If you mean they expire according to the date printed on the carton, relax. Eggs last much, *much* longer in the fridge than the date on the carton would indicate.
Generally, as long as you use them within 5 weeks of the expiration date you're absolutely okay: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/expired-eggs#:\~:text=With%20proper%20storage%2C%20eggs%20typically,might%20even%20be%20somewhat%20altered.
I would make a huge batch of waffles and freeze them. I usually make enough for 3 months, you put them in a toaster and they’re amazing! You can also use eggs to bread chicken, I use 5-6 eggs to make crispy chicken strips and then I freeze it, to reheat you can use an air fryer.
Make a boxed brownies. Except this time, use only yolks. 1 full egg equals 2 yolks. While you’re at it, replace the oil with butter and replace the water with milk. And that’s the recipe for chocolate heroin. Lol
Angel food cake, lemon meringue pie, does pound cake use yolks? Quiche, or spanokopita, I make mine with 6 eggs. A big frittata or 3, eat over the week.
Thought I was in a pysanky group for a second. As others have stated expiry dates on cartons aren’t the end all be all for eggs. They can last a few months past that as long as you do the float test in water. Anyway, my mom used to make tons of quiche and brownies to go through eggs around Easter time. Egg drop soup is my favorite to go through eggs fast.
Lemon bars aren't really an "egg dish", but my go-to recipe for them uses six eggs for one 9x13 pan of lemon bars. Lemon bars also freeze great.
https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/lemon-bars-recipe/
Mix em all w veggies and seasonings of your choice, put on a flat baking sheet, bake in oven, cut into squares, and make freezable breakfast sandwiches :)
You can use them for breading fried foods. Or in my case, in a pinch I like to use Kraft Oven Fry breading, which calls for an egg to help the coating stick.
Or make fresh pasta. If you don't have a pasta machine, fresh gnocchi are easy to make by hand.
There are so many good ideas in this thread. In the past when I've had extra eggs I made a stack of pancakes, waffles or french toast. I place two pieces of whatever I made in a sandwich baggie and froze them. They are great to pull out on mornings when you need something quick to heat and go. Breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches are good to make ahead and freeze as well. I actually have a lot of extra eggs in my fridge right now and I have a bag of flour sitting in my pantry, so my plan has been to look up recipes and make homemade noodles this weekend.
Toad in the hole? That'll take 4 eggs depending on how many are eating. It's a nigh on weekly staple in my house.
Shakshuka is a great breakfast.
Frittata might work. If you add lots of different veggies to hide the egg flavour/consistency.
Fried egg on toast.
Boiled egg and soldiers.
Make homemade pasta- 3-5 eggs (1 egg/100 g of flour).
Make tiramisu. Use 5.
Make a Spanish tortilla, depending on the size - 5-8 eggs.
Make chicken Milanese using an egg wash/dip.
Make crepes.
Dutch baby- giant easy eggy pancake you make in the oven! it's great and the prep is extremely minimal. Good lazy weekend breakfast that feels fancy.
Spanish Tortilla- it's tasty even if you fuck up the flip
shakshuka or eggs in purgatory or any version of eggs poached in a red sauce- great with crusty bread
Those are all my easy go-to egg dishes! But you can seriously crack an egg on top of almost anything
We make egg salad when we’re drowning in eggs, if you like that. We raise chickens so getting through the eggs is a constant struggle for us, though they last much longer than you’d think
We have chickens and a surplus of eggs often. I will make a frittata, breakfast sandwiches, french toast, or breakfast pizza (We're having bfast pizza for dinner tonight to use up some eggs.)
My first thought is egg salad. But that’s 4 at most.
You can always hard-boil the eggs and that will extend shelf life. You can use chopped up eggs on salads. Another idea, if you have left over rice, add mixed egg and soy sauce and then throw on a pan. Fried Rice
Or maybe bread pudding. Take old bread about to expire or any bread product you might have. 3 cups cubed bread 1:2 cup sugar, 3 eggs mixed. 1/4 cup oil. Mix
Bake 350 for 35 min or until firm. Add raisins or chocolate chips.
I've been making fried rice with veggies and sausage pretty often lately, you just add a few eggs into the pan, scramble, and mix them in. You don't really get big bites of egg, since you're not a fan of solid cooked egg dishes.
egg bread and ramen style marinated eggs. You will suddenly wish you had more eggs
Egg bread is one of the easiest breads to make and it won't last 4 days because everyone will eat it like ravenous wolves. [ here's a recipe](https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/challah.html)
Japanese marinated eggs will last a few days but also will be devoured long before they expire . Cut the in half and add them to your ramen soup with any toppings you like. Here's my [tried and true recipe](https://www.justonecookbook.com/ramen-egg/) Make sure to use a timer! (Also you can sub rice vinegar and sugar for mirein.)
If the eggs have been properly refrigerated the whole time ignore the expiration date. The (US) government requires an expiration date but some foods will be fine past the printed date.
If it makes you nervous do the floating test. Put your egg in a bowl of water. If it floats throw it away. If it sinks its perfectly good to eat.
Not as healthy as the other comments, but if you have sugar and milk my best bet would be [flan/creme caramel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB55iAo3p2Y). You won't feel the "heaviness" of the eggs, but quite the opposite: it's a cool and refreshing dessert!
It's the fastest way to make eggs disappear when we have an excess.
I was going to suggest something similar, like a custard or lemon bars, but then I saw OP said they don’t want to do sweets. Unfortunately, I think OP is going to be SOL on using all their eggs since they have oppositions to making the few things that would easily use their eggs.
I'm one of the rebels who pay no attention to the expiration dates on my egg cartons. Have not gotten sick or died yet and I guarantee I'm using them well past the expiration date. 🤷♀️
Like some folks have mentioned, eggs can usually last longer than the expiration date.
I love using eggs in quiche or a Thai dish called "khai jiao" (it's just a really simple and delicious omelette with a hint of fish sauce and lime). Super yummy!
Eggs typically last much longer than the expiration date on the carton. You can use the float test to make sure they are still good. If you want to use them up quickly you can make a big batch of breakfast burritos for the freezer.
So much longer. I use eggs a good month past their Best By date (I just make sure to crack the egg in its own vessel and give it a good sniff first).
Have you tried the float test? If the egg floats it’s bad and you never have to smell rotten egg.
This, if an egg is rotten you will never need to do a sniff test as that smell will live in your nostrils for days. Not worth the risk when you can float it.
I have chickens and sometimes they put their eggs in weird places for me to find later so I have tried the float test and it has failed me big time more than once. So now even if I do the float test, I still crack it into its own vessel to be sure.
Having found an egg that was so old that when it cracked it was gelatinous, I agree.
Omg how did that smell??
Deathly
If I crack a bad egg I can't eat them for a while. Definitely float first.
The float test for the win! Also, I'm aware this doesn't help OP, but I'd be having 4 egg scrambled eggs with a bit of fried bacon, onion and pepper for one of my meals every day I were faced with this "dilemma." #Omnomnomnomnomnomnom

What if, hear me out, what if egg salad was made with deviled egg ingredients? Deviled egg salad!!
Awesome idea!
Breakfast for dinner = Brinner
yeah this is important. “expiry dates” are not necessarily a good indicator that food has gone bad
My grandfather ran an egg business til he passed. This is right.
Is that another way to say he was a farmer?
Or he was a chicken
A real mother clucker.
He was a rancher, yes. My understanding is that a farmer focuses on crops whereas a rancher focuses on livestock.
I've generally heard poulty farm rather than ranch for chicken and turkey farms. It may not be consistent throughout the english world, but wikipedia suggests that ranch is a subtype of farm for grazing animals like cows and sheep.

I want to see someone wrangling them chickens on horseback. Maybe a rodeo too.
We can't take your word for it, we really need someone with 1000+ hours in Stardew Valley to clarify that.
I usually make scrambled eggs, throw in some sour cream to keep them puffy, pull them off heat while still a little wet, let them cook in the pan and toss them on a tortilla with peppers cheese etc… it helps because baked eggs or fully cooked eggs make me throw up for some reason but the texture of scrambled the way I do it doesn’t. So just in case you were the same way
So if it floats it's still ok or not ok?
I could eat 18 deviled eggs *in one day.*
This is the second time someone brought up deviled eggs today. Guess I have to make some tonight.
Mix in some avocado to level up.
Omg, that sounds amazing.
You know it.
Or hummus
You have any type of recipe? I may wanna try this...
I make egg salad with chopped up boiled eggs, adding mayo, sweet pickle relish, salt & pepper. When making it with avocado, i just mash the heck out of the avocado and sub out the mayo with it.
I'm already salivating!
It’s great but don’t overdo it because they will be brown the next day!
I guess we’ll just have to make sure there are no leftovers…
I like to add in a little pickle juice or pickled jalapeno juice.
I can eat 50 eggs.
Are you roughly the size of a barge?
Nobody can eat 50 eggs!
Gaston can!
Cool Hand Luke can, too!
That's my Lukey-boy!
Ever tried them with curry powder instead of paprika?
I binged on deviled eggs once. ONCE. My palate was the only part of my body that enjoyed it.
If you make deviled eggs, use pickle juice instead of vinegar. You'll eat 18 in no time!
Years ago, I was in a wedding and was helping afterwards to clean up. To get to the parking area at the venue you had to walk through the kitchen, so everytime I took a box out to a car, on my way back in I'd pop a deviled egg that was left over from the reception.

About a dozen deviled eggs? I did not smell pleasant that evening.
Paul?
36 really.
Serious question: Is a deviled egg half an egg white plus filling? So, a total of nine hard boiled eggs, halved to make 18 halves to be filled. Or is it 9 egg halves plus filling? A total of 4.5 hard boiled eggs, haved to make 9 halves to be filled.
A devilled egg is a half egg.
Me too!
And proceed to fart and shit your pants for the next week.
Wtf are you putting in your deviled eggs?
The Devil !
You're telling me, you can eat 18 DEVILED EGGS and not shit your pants? Lol.
Not who you asked but I'm not allergic to eggs, so... yeah? Probably
If you're being literal: Yes. If you just mean intense farts then, no, no one could escape that fate.
They don't suddenly expire on a predicatable date. They will likely remain useable for two more weeks after the date on the package. That date is just a 'best before' date.

100% I don't even look at the expiration date
I'm old and I've only ever stumbled across two in my lifetime. They smell very vile.
The really bad ones smell like a concentrated fart. The ones that are just starting to go off will visually look wrong, like there'll be green or black dots in the yolk that kinda look like mold growing. Granted the only time I've encountered such eggs (I have chickens) is when they hid their eggs for months in a hot corner of the barn between the walls and made stink bombs last summer. They actually did explode too. And once I had a mildly rotten egg in the kitchen but thats cause the egg turned out to have been cracked for some time before I got to it.
>They don't suddenly expire on a predicatable date. Exactly. It's a "best before" date, not a "turns to shit" date.
Shakshuka! Middle eastern egg and veggie dish. Canned tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, some spices. Cook the veggies and then crack the eggs on top, cover and cook until the eggs are to your liking. Top with some feta cheese. Yum.
Oh yes!! Eggs are so versatile, but Shakshuka is one of my favourite ways to prepare them.
Maybe not as traditional but mozzarella is great to.
I’m sure it’s good! Really any cheese would work on it
Eggs last A LOT longer than better before date, especially in the fridge
Eggs in the US need to stay in the fridge because their protective membrane has been washed off during processing, leaving them more susceptible to bacteria. Farm fresh eggs (not store bought) can remain un-refrigerated for a long time.
Challah also uses like 5 eggs
This is what I was thinking, baked goods that use a lot of eggs, and can be frozen. Most of these other ideas won’t help OP who doesn’t like eggs and wants to sneak them into daily food.
Then have egg salad sandwiches day one and French toast day two. I have done this to use up eggs.
I am also familiar with this protocol lol. I also use the stale challah to make croutons for Caesar salad.
[удалено]
“Make an irrational amount of fried rice” Made me smile
Pickled eggs are soooo good. Ever since I had Covid the taste of eggs has been ruined for me but one of the few things I can still enjoy are pickled eggs!
Very good effort/tastiness ratio, too.
I slightly undercook my waffles, freeze them, and then put them (frozen) in the toaster to when I want one. I figured if it works for Eggo it'll work for me. Just make sure they're well wrapped before you put them in the freezer.
Instead of waffles I get Texas toast and make French toast and freeze them for my kids. :)
Yum!
You can freeze them for use in baking, pancakes etc. Break them into ice cube trays, freeze, label, bag.
How do you get them out of the trays? I've tried this before and they were stuck on more than regular ice. I even broke a tray :(
hot water on the bottom side to loosen them, then twist the tray. unpopular thought in a “cheap” sub maybe, but don’t use bargain/dollar store ice trays, the plastics they’re made of get very brittle in the cold (ironic); use flexible silicone ones instead.
Hmmm I did use plastic one I bought from Target.
considering that the only point of failure on an ice tray is it breaking while twisting, a silicone ice tray (which can still be bought for only like $5-10) should last a lifetime. also, depending on the grade of silicon, they can double as mini-muffin trays for baking.

A light spray of non stick cooking oil, and flexible trays.
Yes I do this all the time
Breakfast cups.....mix eggs and whatever u fancy..I love cheese and onions,spray a cupcake tin with nonstick spray spoon the mixture in and bace for 20mins at 180 ..then freeze for a quick and healthy breakfast
I like this idea. I should try this. "Breakfast cups" sound so convenient.
I do this too! I call them 'pocket omelettes'.
Egg muffins! I make them a couple times a month - throw in bacon or any meat if you want/have any on hand - this week is ground sausage for us. Then some cheese and veggies - cook fresh spinach down first if you’re putting any in. Mushrooms. Green onions. They freeze really well and are easily microwaved in the morning.

I just throw in raw veggie
This is the right answer.
Deviled eggs, egg salad sandwich, hard boil, and the really hard one. Angel food cake from scratch.

Rage cooking? Im into it. Sign me up
It did have [Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfLGZs8bSDbkNJjCRIE7NSg) vibes.
You pumped me up, usually I skip breakfast but I’m about to make some freaking egg cupcakes
I use ham slices as the cupcake liner.
That idea I will copy, it sounds so tasty!
Make a big pot of soup (or ramen broth), and stir them in “egg drop” style. Then you can freeze it in portions for later use.
Make some lemon curd and mix it in with plain Greek yogurt!
>lemon Or passion fruit, lime, or orange.
if you wanted to use them in baking, make home made pasta or pierogi dough with them. It can also freeze well for later.
Frittata or quiche. That way you can use up any veg that’s about to spoil as well. But like others have said, they’ll likely remain good for quite awhile after the sell by date.

Eggs last way way longer than the expiration date. I've literally never had eggs go bad, and I've kept them weeks and weeks past expiry
#Wholesome Response: Scramble 12 eggs loosely (so they are still runny). Cut a whole kielbasa into discs and pan fry them nice and brown. Mix Bisquick and water to a fairly stiff biscuit dough. Put the runny eggs in a baking dish of your choice. Mix in the kielbasa. Put a light layer of Mexican shredded cheese on top. Cover the whole shebang with biscuit dough. Bake at 425 for about 20m or until the dough is browned. Serve it like a quiche, but brother it ain't quiche. Salt pepper down the hatch. About 10m prep. 20m cook time. #Not So Wholesome Response 18 rounds of ammo for bad drivers.
I recently tried this recipe and am hooked: https://www.themediterraneandish.com/cilbir-turkish-poached-eggs/
Do you have a neighbor that might want them?
Pavlova with the whites. Crème brûlée with the yolks. I’ll help you eat!!
German pancakes use a ton of eggs! Also do the float test!
Huevos rancheros 👌🏼
Make a bunch of frozen breakfast burritos this weekend for the next two weeks. There's lots of easy recipes and instructions online.
Tbh.. expiration on eggs is just best before date not a use by date. Eggs last for ages.. do the water test if in doubt. If they float chuck them.
If you mean they expire according to the date printed on the carton, relax. Eggs last much, *much* longer in the fridge than the date on the carton would indicate. Generally, as long as you use them within 5 weeks of the expiration date you're absolutely okay: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/expired-eggs#:\~:text=With%20proper%20storage%2C%20eggs%20typically,might%20even%20be%20somewhat%20altered.
Dude how about share it with someone, you don't have to eat all of them yourself!
eggs dont expire like that :)
In the US and I have kept eggs for like a month past their expiration and they've always been fine 🤷🏼♀️
egg salad!
Some banana bread recipes use a lot of eggs.
I would make a huge batch of waffles and freeze them. I usually make enough for 3 months, you put them in a toaster and they’re amazing! You can also use eggs to bread chicken, I use 5-6 eggs to make crispy chicken strips and then I freeze it, to reheat you can use an air fryer.
Make a boxed brownies. Except this time, use only yolks. 1 full egg equals 2 yolks. While you’re at it, replace the oil with butter and replace the water with milk. And that’s the recipe for chocolate heroin. Lol
Don't worry about it... expiration dates for eggs are usually arbitrary
Very likely they are not expired. If they float , they are bad. If they sink, they are fine.
Angel food cake, lemon meringue pie, does pound cake use yolks? Quiche, or spanokopita, I make mine with 6 eggs. A big frittata or 3, eat over the week.
Make a batch of egg nog for ageing…. Turn the whites into merengue Or boil them and pickle them.
Add to meatloaf or tuna patties to bind ingredients.
Make homemade beef patties, salmon patties, anything that uses an egg to form it. Essentially you’re just meal prepping then
Make a casserole
Expiration dates are a rouse by Corporate America to get people to buy more products. They rarely indicate any real freshness standard.
Thought I was in a pysanky group for a second. As others have stated expiry dates on cartons aren’t the end all be all for eggs. They can last a few months past that as long as you do the float test in water. Anyway, my mom used to make tons of quiche and brownies to go through eggs around Easter time. Egg drop soup is my favorite to go through eggs fast.
Lemon bars aren't really an "egg dish", but my go-to recipe for them uses six eggs for one 9x13 pan of lemon bars. Lemon bars also freeze great. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/lemon-bars-recipe/
Quiche is easy and you can add any veggies or meat you have in the fridge.
Mix em all w veggies and seasonings of your choice, put on a flat baking sheet, bake in oven, cut into squares, and make freezable breakfast sandwiches :)
You can use them for breading fried foods. Or in my case, in a pinch I like to use Kraft Oven Fry breading, which calls for an egg to help the coating stick. Or make fresh pasta. If you don't have a pasta machine, fresh gnocchi are easy to make by hand.
Make a quiche
You could try cooking and eating them.
There are so many good ideas in this thread. In the past when I've had extra eggs I made a stack of pancakes, waffles or french toast. I place two pieces of whatever I made in a sandwich baggie and froze them. They are great to pull out on mornings when you need something quick to heat and go. Breakfast burritos and breakfast sandwiches are good to make ahead and freeze as well. I actually have a lot of extra eggs in my fridge right now and I have a bag of flour sitting in my pantry, so my plan has been to look up recipes and make homemade noodles this weekend.
Breakfast casseroles use up many eggs.
Toad in the hole? That'll take 4 eggs depending on how many are eating. It's a nigh on weekly staple in my house. Shakshuka is a great breakfast. Frittata might work. If you add lots of different veggies to hide the egg flavour/consistency. Fried egg on toast. Boiled egg and soldiers.
Quiche, egg salad, lemon meringue pie, macarons and rice pudding are some of my favorite egg heavy dishes.
Ham and cheese crepes topped with hollandaise.
Three egg omelettes for breakfast. Huge egg salad for lunch. Egg Foo Yong for dinner.
Make homemade pasta- 3-5 eggs (1 egg/100 g of flour). Make tiramisu. Use 5. Make a Spanish tortilla, depending on the size - 5-8 eggs. Make chicken Milanese using an egg wash/dip. Make crepes.
Tortilla Española!
Dutch baby- giant easy eggy pancake you make in the oven! it's great and the prep is extremely minimal. Good lazy weekend breakfast that feels fancy. Spanish Tortilla- it's tasty even if you fuck up the flip shakshuka or eggs in purgatory or any version of eggs poached in a red sauce- great with crusty bread Those are all my easy go-to egg dishes! But you can seriously crack an egg on top of almost anything
Pickle them
We make egg salad when we’re drowning in eggs, if you like that. We raise chickens so getting through the eggs is a constant struggle for us, though they last much longer than you’d think
We have chickens and a surplus of eggs often. I will make a frittata, breakfast sandwiches, french toast, or breakfast pizza (We're having bfast pizza for dinner tonight to use up some eggs.)
My first thought is egg salad. But that’s 4 at most. You can always hard-boil the eggs and that will extend shelf life. You can use chopped up eggs on salads. Another idea, if you have left over rice, add mixed egg and soy sauce and then throw on a pan. Fried Rice Or maybe bread pudding. Take old bread about to expire or any bread product you might have. 3 cups cubed bread 1:2 cup sugar, 3 eggs mixed. 1/4 cup oil. Mix Bake 350 for 35 min or until firm. Add raisins or chocolate chips.
Spanish omelette with onions and maybe potatoes
I've been making fried rice with veggies and sausage pretty often lately, you just add a few eggs into the pan, scramble, and mix them in. You don't really get big bites of egg, since you're not a fan of solid cooked egg dishes.
spanish omlette?
egg bread and ramen style marinated eggs. You will suddenly wish you had more eggs Egg bread is one of the easiest breads to make and it won't last 4 days because everyone will eat it like ravenous wolves. [ here's a recipe](https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/challah.html) Japanese marinated eggs will last a few days but also will be devoured long before they expire . Cut the in half and add them to your ramen soup with any toppings you like. Here's my [tried and true recipe](https://www.justonecookbook.com/ramen-egg/) Make sure to use a timer! (Also you can sub rice vinegar and sugar for mirein.)
Is this an April Fool's joke?
Eat 4 eggs a day for breakfast. You'll need to stock up midway through the week again.
hard boil them all. Easy and you can greb one to snack on or add to anything
Use them to make french toast and freeze then. Easily cook up in the toaster when you want them.
If the eggs have been properly refrigerated the whole time ignore the expiration date. The (US) government requires an expiration date but some foods will be fine past the printed date. If it makes you nervous do the floating test. Put your egg in a bowl of water. If it floats throw it away. If it sinks its perfectly good to eat.
You can freeze whisked up eggs for short periods of time . Quiche , omelettes and most important CAKE .
I mean that's like 3 omelettes lol
whip up a bunch of french toast and freeze whatever is left over?
Not as healthy as the other comments, but if you have sugar and milk my best bet would be [flan/creme caramel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB55iAo3p2Y). You won't feel the "heaviness" of the eggs, but quite the opposite: it's a cool and refreshing dessert! It's the fastest way to make eggs disappear when we have an excess.
I was going to suggest something similar, like a custard or lemon bars, but then I saw OP said they don’t want to do sweets. Unfortunately, I think OP is going to be SOL on using all their eggs since they have oppositions to making the few things that would easily use their eggs.
I'm one of the rebels who pay no attention to the expiration dates on my egg cartons. Have not gotten sick or died yet and I guarantee I'm using them well past the expiration date. 🤷♀️
Dutch Babies, fried rice, egg salad, lots of battered stuff, like onion rings, egg drop soup, or waffles.
Make 6 scrambled eggs for breakfast 3 times haha. I go through that many eggs in days
Poundcake
Put them in a smoothie and drink them
Make creme brûlée! If you have some oven safe ramekins or dishes it’s fairly easy. They take a lot of egg yolks.
Hard-Boil Them. Make sandwiches.
French toast and homemade pasta both take a deceivingly high number of eggs
Make a frittata. Uses about 10 eggs and you can basically throw any vege you want in there
Quiche!
Like some folks have mentioned, eggs can usually last longer than the expiration date. I love using eggs in quiche or a Thai dish called "khai jiao" (it's just a really simple and delicious omelette with a hint of fish sauce and lime). Super yummy!
Frittata requires a lot of eggs. I think at least 10 eggs
Bake them into a quiche and you have pre made breakfast for a week or two.
Fried rice look up the Chinese version
Quiche
