What do you do with bantam eggs?

[Stonerowfarm]

We have standard size chickens and love the eggs from them. Our few customers are thrilled with the large size and quality (so are we). We have just started getting bantam eggs and are not really sure what to do with them. They are so tiny and cute I just want to display them.

What do you all do with your banty eggs. I can't imagine how they could be used in any recipes and there is only so many scrambled eggs you can eat in a week.

Hatch 'em.

Seriously (though I do mostly hatch and/or sell them as hatching eggs

), you can use them in recipes. Just use 2 banty eggs for every standard-size egg. Or, if you really need to be picky/exact about quantity, you could use a food scale and weigh the banty eggs to make sure you are using the correct quantity of egg...

Eat em. I use the bantam eggs all the time and this link will give you a size conversion chart for cooking. http://whatscookingamerica.net/Eggs/EggEquivalent.htm

My family has been getting the bantam eggs for our table because I sell all the standard-sized eggs that I can. I use them 2 or 3 to 1 in most recipes, and don't worry about precise measurements. Sometimes I will offer bantam eggs to customers when I've run out of standard sized eggs and sometimes they're willing to take them. I'll sell them 18 or 24 bantam eggs for the price of a dozen standard-sized eggs.

Wouldn't they make the cutest little deviled eggs?

I have a huge market for Banty eggs with my older friends, they love to have two little eggs for breakfast instead of just one big one.

ETA:
When I use them in recipes if it calls for two medium I use three banty, two large I use 4 banty. When I make the cake in a cup I use a banty egg and it's just as good as with a medium or large.

We are hoping to get a banty brahma or cochin and I would love to try this with her eggs.

They are also ideal for pickling

Back when we had banties I used about two to three eggs to every medium to large egg. I loved the deviled egg idea.

I make 'em into deviled eggs. The kids love them. Each half is just right for one bite! Some of our customers just like the novelty of them.
