     Remember how starting over a year ago egg prices shot through the ceiling and getting a dozen for less than $6.00 was a time for celebration?   I don't know about you, but we use eggs a lot in our cooking and baking and while there are ways to substitute them out, there really is nothing like "The Incredible, Edible Egg!"
      Thankfully, prices have come down quite a bit on eggs.  But, I probably still have FOMO when it comes to maybe missing out on good egg prices.  So, when I saw my local wholesale produce seller offering 15 dozen eggs for $19.26, I snapped them up!  I had eggs coming out of my ears and I loved it!  I gave some away, but luckily eggs have a long shelf life in the fridge because we are still finishing them up. Then, my SIL was able to get 15 dozen for $10 where they live in Georgia, so they were in the same boat as I was!  All of these eggs got me thinking about how to use them to our best advantage.  I decided to put together a list of recipes that have a good amount of eggs as a main ingredient!  If you are able to find such good buys on eggs, or maybe you simply have your own flock of chickens, click Read More to find some really good egg recipes!  (Or even if you just like eggs a lot!)

      Breakfast is the obvious place to start when it comes to cooking with eggs! As I looked through my recipes, I remembered this amazing Smoke Salmon Omelet recipe that I copycatted after having it at Mimi's Cafe once.  This is a 3 egg omelet, (or Omelette in French), and would actually work for any meal, anytime! 

     Another great breakfast is Eggs in a Pancake Nest!  Not really a recipe, just a take on the old method of cooking an egg in the middle of toast.  My grandkids and I did it with pancakes and it was fun to do and very tasty!  Take a look! 

     Moving on from breakfast, no family gathering in our family would be complete without Deviled Eggs!  We specifically like Aunt Karen's Deviled Eggs, but if she can't be there, we will settle for anyone else's!  Lindsey posted a great version of Easy Deviled Eggs that we also love! 

     Let's move on to dessert!  If you want to use up a lot of eggs, you don't want to miss out on this Fantastic Orange Chiffon Cake!  It is mouth wateringly delicious! This tall and fluffy cake is a real show stopper!  I think I need to make one soon! 

     This Pumpkin Pie Tiramisu is such a delicious recipe for non-coffee lovers!  Look and Lucious it looks, and it tastes that way as well.  If you are worried about raw eggs, this post tells you how to solve that problem. 

     You definitely need eggs for Macarons! Tricky yet worth the work because of their cuteness and variety of possible flavors! Lindsey is the expert in our family! 

     When my SIL got his large quantity of eggs, he baked up some Flan! I wish I had thought of that!  I guess that is what I'll be doing as soon as I finish this post! LOL

     Wow!  Do those recipes just get better and better or what?  How would you use up a ton of eggs? 
      Here are a few more ideas:

• Egg Salad Sandwiches
• Freeze Dry them to store
• You can freeze raw eggs, out of their shell, for up to 1 year
• Make a quiche
• Make a souffle
• Make Egg Nog
• Butterscotch Creme Brulee
• Pumpkin Creme Brulee
• Homemade mayonnaise
• hard boiled
• poached

     I'm so glad eggs have come down in price! Look at all of the great recipes they are used in, not to mention cakes and cookies! I'll never take an egg for granted again!
