Looking for an easy recipe that uses lots of eggs, the whole egg.

That sounds healthy... I'm more of a "How much chocolate can I jam in this" kind of guy

Oh I enjoy my chocolate! I don't know how I would make it some days without my chocolate stash! Lol! But nothing wrong with a healthy balance!

You can also make your own mayo and then make potato salad with lots of hard boiled egg added.
The below link is a basic mayo, the oil you use affects the taste. You can also add garlic or other seasonings.

French toast uses a good amount of eggs. So does pound cake, custards, quiches, bread puddings, etc.

I have a recipe I made up, and you can use duck eggs or chicken eggs, I think they taste the same. I got it off a recipe here on byc, and I twisted it.


Eggs -However many people the amt. of eggs (ie. 3 people 3 eggs)
Bacon -Double the amt. of bacon to the number of people (ie. 3 people 6 pieces of bacon)
Milk - I put 1/2 cup of milk for every 5 people
Hash Browns- 1 cup

If using pan, set on high and scramble eggs and add all ingredients in pan and cook till done.

If using oven, set on 375 and bake till golden brown.

Hope that helps!

I sort of followed your recipe yesterday. I have lots and lots of duck eggs so I used 15 and still have more. I didn't have bacon and thought I had sausage but I didn't, so I used ground hamburger, about 2 pounds. I used one can of evaporated milk and a can of water. I used about 3/4s of a bag of shredded hash browns in the bottom of the pan. I would have used more but I didn't know how much the eggs would swell and didn't want it flowing over into the bottom of the oven.

I beat the eggs by hand, added in the hamburger and mixed it until it was all apart. Then I added in the milk and water and stirred until it was all mixed, salt and pepper to taste. Poured on top of the hash browns and set in the oven.

It was such a big pan of quiche (?) that I don't know how long it cooked until I thought it was done. I set the timer on the oven for an hour while I got everything ready to go and I think it had a little more than half an hour to go when I put it in. I checked it later and it still looked pretty wet in the middle ran the timer back up to 30 minutes. It was raising a little bit around the edges so I had an idea of what to look for when it was done. When I went back to check it again, it felt very wet in the center so I added another 20 minutes. That was too long. LOL It came out with a very thin, very golden brown crust, top and bottom. It was too dry underneath the top crust but in general, it was good. I know it sounds like I cooked it for an hour and 20 minutes but the time over lapped, it wasn't that long, maybe somewhere between 45 minutes and an hour?

I think it would have been better with sausage. It also seemed to be missing something and I thought that if I had some salsa, it would have been great! My husband likes gravy so he said it would be good with gravy. LOL

One daughter said the egg flavor over powered it but it was good. One son and grandson ate heartily, at least 2 plates. My husband and I ate 2 plates and the other 2, I don't know if they tried it or not. We tend to scatter at mealtimes. It was a lot of food but not much leftovers. If leftovers get put in the fridge, they don't get eaten so what little was left, the dogs got and they enjoyed it too.

All in all, I'd say it was a good experiment, adjusting your recipe. I will try it with more variations. Thanks for sharing! Sylvia

I know it's been a few days since anyone posted, but when I have extra eggs I make muffins and freeze them in packs of four or five (I do mini muffins). I make carrot, spinach, apple, mixed berry.... Usually a mix of carrot and whatever other fruit or veggi I need to use up. I just pull out a pack of muffins to dethaw when needed (I have a daycare and all the kids love when I make muffins!). I'll also put them in a backpack for hikes, or take some on road trips or camping. I just took a carrot muffin recipe that's low in sugar and add whatever I want. I'm surprised how fast we go through them! I have to make some today with the over ripe bananas I have!

Do you make your own muffin mix or use a box brand? I use the Jiffy brand, I love them for convenience. Sylvia

Thank you. I forgot about mayo. We might be eating a lot more potato salad with hard boiled eggs and home made mayo. LOL Sylvia

French toast sounds good and I know just the place to get day old bread. My husband and I are diabetics so we try to keep the sweet stuff out of the house. He doesn't use sugar except in his Sassafras tea, which he doesn't drink often and I use Stevia. I don't know how to use Stevia in recipes instead of sugar. You know, what makes up the difference in what sugar does compared to what Stevia does. Thank you.

I'll get out the recipie book and post it it's very easy. It's in a baby food ad toddler food book I bought when I was making my sons baby food now I use it because it's easy, low on sugar and I add whatever I want into it.

Muffins

2 large carrots grated
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Sprinkle of cinnamon and ginger

Mix together bake at 400 for 8-12 minutes.

*I usually do the carrots then will also mix in something else. Ex: grated apples, chard, kale, mixed berries, banana, spinach.
Really whatever I have on hand that can be thrown in. The more heartier they are the longer they need to cook. Great for a fast breakfast or snack. If you double remember not to double baking soda or powder! I usually just make two batches of muffins every time I make them and just do two different kinds also I cook in mini muffin tins, so may need to add a few minutes or regular muffins. My husband takes them to work with him to snack on.

Thank you. Got it. Carrots are sweet, how does it taste with chard, kale or spinach? Thanks, Sylvia
