What to do With Leftover……..EGGS! Round-up

by Marye on May 22nd, 2008

leftovers

Here it is, the round up for , What to do with Leftover……

This month it is eggs. Whether you make a pound cake, or an angel food cake or even a fritter batter you can end up with leftover egg whites or leftover egg yolks. If you have chickens, like we do, sometimes leftover eggs means that the chickens laid more than usual and there are 5 or 6 dozen in the fridge!

Being eco-friendly, taking care of the environment also means not being wasteful. Frugality is cool! Besides, those chickens work HARD to give you those eggs, trust me.

Here are some ideas to help with using them up!

We didn’t get a lot of entries for this but the ones we got were amazing! Thanks to everyone who participated. If I missed you please email me and let me know so I can get you on here!

Marija from Palachinka creates this beautiful Komisbrot .It looks fantastic, doesn’t it?

Esther at The Lilac Kitchen took another approach with Brazil nut and Coconut Financiere (Bankers Cake). I can just imagine these on a tea table with lots of other breads and cakes.

Shoba, from Nangil Girl’s Adventures went with a fantastic sounding Raspberry Custard. MMMMMM…. Raspberry!It is probably one of my favorite berries and the one I have the least.

Becke from Columbus Foodie shares my penchant for slow food and local ingredients where possible. She created this Truffled Egg Salad on Baguette Rounds. They look delicious!

She also posted a recipe for salmon deviled eggs . Obviously another over achiever on the loose!

And my entry is a cake that I did a few months ago and is still one of my favorites. It takes a dozen egg yolks but the texture is incredible.

I will be announcing next month’s ingredient, so check back!

    You got a great round up here. I made something but didn’t like it so I didn’t enter. Remember its quality, not quantity.

    How timely:) We are part of our county mosquito abatement program. Each year we get 10 new hens. We act as the staging area which means they bring about 50 hens to my house overnight then they process them and send most to other coops in the county. Check this URL

    This year we are “fostering” all the hens, around 50, for over a week. Needless to say I am up to my eyeballs in pullet eggs. Pound cake is one of my favorite ways to use eggs because I can freeze it. I’ll have plenty of eggs to try a lot of the recipes you have posted. Thanks
