How To Use Up Eggs!

We have 6 chickens, which is great for our family of 7! But if we don’t have a meal with eggs for a week or two…they really start to pile up. Eggs are also a thrifty source of protein with yolks full of folic acid! However, they are high in saturated fat, so I stick to one egg-based meal a day. Here is the list my cuties and I made on Sunday to eat them up!

“Green Eggs and Ham” was the first thing that burst out of Kyler’s mouth. Haha! I guess green eggs and ham don’t have to be only for St. Patrick’s Day, right?

Fried Eggs-half of our family likes a runny yolk (my kids call the runny yolk eggs “cheesy eggs”)

Scrambled Eggs with cheese

German Pancakes (one of our favorite Sunday meals-we have to make 2 pans to fill up everyone’s bellies so it takes a whole dozen eggs each time we make this meal!)

Potato Salad-Ember requested this without the pickles, please Mom!

Egg sandwiches-we use miracle whip in ours

Breakfast sandwiches-our kids like to make buttered toast and then put on bacon, an egg, and cheese

Breakfast burritos-

Hot dog and egg meal-my husband showed me this one. Slice hot dogs and heat both sides in a pan. Give them a generous dose of pepper. Add scrambled eggs. Put on plate, drip hot sauce on, rip off a piece of tortilla and use it to grab some up. Shove in mouth.

Egg muffins-we put diced bell peppers, some spinach, and other things in these healthy grab an go’s

If you waited a while to collect eggs, or you want to see if the eggs you bought are still good, do the Float Test! To do this, fill a large bowl or sink with water and put in the eggs. If they float, they are bad. If they stay on the bottom, they are good.

If there is no way you will eat all of your eggs, you can also try to sell them or give them away. If you have any other favorite egg dishes, PLEASE share below in the comments. Thanks so much and have a happy day!
