Anyone have any interesting egg recipes?

KattyKillFish,
You'll have to post your take on the tea eggs. I've made them for decoration, but didn't think they were edible after cooking for hours.

You could use the whites for meringues, macaroons and cookies, that will hold for a long time.

I googled egg white uses and egg yolk uses and got too many hits to post.

Can you undercut your competitors prices without a backlash? or give a deal/sale? Or see if your competitor has a need for your eggs. Perhaps (s)he can't keep up.
Good luck

I would like to know how they turn out after cooking 1-3 hours (in the appetiteforchina.com recipe) as well. It just seems way too long, and surely the eggs are overcooked?

This is the recipe we use (I linked to it in my first post.) Notice the total cooking time is only 14 min, plus another 5 to soak. Ours don't come out quite as darkly marbeled as the picture on the appetiteforchina site. However, they're very edible and tasty!

Tea Leaf Eggs

3 Tbsp. tea leaves (your favorite type)
4 eggs
2 tsp. dark soy sauce
1 whole star anise (optional)

Make a 4-cup pot of tea with the tea leaves.

Boil the eggs in water to cover for 4 minutes. Cool, then crack the shells all over by rolling the eggs across a work surface, or tapping the shells with the back of a metal spoon.

Transfer the pot of tea, the dark soy and the star anise to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Place the cracked eggs in the pot, cover, and cook gently for about 10 minutes. Turn the eggs in the pot to color evenly. Soak in the tea mixture for another 5 minutes. Remove, cool and shell the eggs.

I'm making this recipe for our traditional Christmas morning brunch. Since I double the recipe (my parents come over for this) it uses up 8 eggs. Best part, you mix it up ahead of time and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake it!

In addition to cooking with them more, does your local feed store sell extra eggs if you buy their feed?
Ours does. We only feed their non GMO, soy and corn free mix, and they pay us $4 per dozen for our extras.
THey then sell them for $5 per dozen.
We also have a few other places that do this, but since we are as close to free ranging as possible, we prefer this feed store get our business ( we are in Alaska, so free ranging does not occur in winter)
