From an earlier thread.....

"Omelette, frittata, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, eggs benedict, sponge cakes, waffles, devilled eggs, scotch eggs, bacon and egg pie, spaghetti carbonara, poached eggs, donburi, soft boiled eggs on salad, ceasar salad, french toast, courgette fritters or corn fritters, Huevos Rancheros, Bacon and Sweet Corn Mini Frittatas, bacon and eggs on spinach or toast, Creme Brule or any other custard, pavlova - make a custard with the yolks or use them instead of hair shampoo, lemon pie, any type of soufflee, Shakshouka (= Eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce), aioli, gado gado, Baked Egg Custard, homemade ice cream, pancakes or crepes ... that might help use up some of the surplus :)

Also try doing a search here on the MB using eggs as the Keyword and Last year as the Date posted option - you should find lots of ideas for all your eggs and more.

Hope that helps. :-))

375g unsalted butter. (if using salted butter, leave the salt out)

Melt them together in a pot on slow heat. Then cool.

6 eggs
350g castor sugar
1 tbs vanilla extract
1 tsp salt

225g plain flour
250g white choc chips

Add flour and mix in then fold in choc chips.

Make sure your tin in lined then pour in. bake at 150c (reduce by 10 deg if fan forced) and bake for an hour. when cooked mixture should still be gooey but not wobble in the middle when you shake the tin.

Onion and Herb Frittata
3 TBLSP olive oil
2 onions thinly sliced
8 eggs
1 tsp salt
ground black pepper to taste
4 medium potatoes peeled and boiled in salted water for 5 minutes
2 TBLSP finely chopped parsley leaves
Heat 2 TBLSP of the olive oil in a large frypan, add onions and cook over gentle heat until softened but not browned (about 8 min). In large bowl whisk eggs with salt and pepper, cut cooled potatoes into 1/2 cm thin slices and stir into the egg with onions and parsley, make sure all the potato slices are separated and coated with egg.
Heat remaining oil in frypan used for onions, add egg mixture, as the base begins to cook, use spatula to lift it in several places allowing raw egg to run underneath. Once it starts to set, leave it to cook over a very low heat until just set through (about 12 mins). Don't be tempted to turn up the heat. Place under a preheated grill until the top is set and golden (about 5 - 6 mins) or run a knife around the edge to loosen, flip onto a plate then slide back into the pan to cook through, test by gently pressing the centre - if it bounces back it is done. Cool 5 min. before turning out onto a plate, eat hot or at room temperature.

Annabel's FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE.....

250g best quality dark chocolate, chopped
2 tbsp brandy
2 tbsp black coffee
200g butter chopped
1 cup castor sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups ground almonds
6 eggs separated
Preheat oven to 170. LIne the base and sides of 23cm diameter springform cake tin with baking paper.

Combine choclate brandy and coffee in a large bowl over a pot of boiling water, stirring as the chocolate melts. Add butter, sugar and vanilla and stir until the butter has melted. Remove from heat and stir in ground almonds. Lightly beat egg yolks and stir into the chocolate mixture.

Place egg whites in a large, clean bowl and beat to firm peaks. Stir in a spoonful of beaten egg white into the chocolate mixture to loosen it, then fold in the rest of the egg whites.

Spoon into prepared tin and bake until risen and set (about 55 minutes) The cake will still be a little gooey in the middle. It may look a little cracked as it develops a crust and can be quite fragile, but htis is normal.

Cool completely in tin.

There you'll find a recipe for Creme Anglaise that uses 3 egg yolks and milk, no cream!

Egg Yolk Sponge
Beat together 3-4 egg yolks and ½c sugar. Add ¼c boiling water and beat again.
sift and add 3oz flour, 1oz cornflour, 1tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt.
Bake 180º in a loose bottom tin.

Just **double** either of the attached 2 recipes. #1 has a harder centre, #2 more the marshmallow type. Used both in my catering days and both were very successful. The secret of a great pav is in the beating, and leave it to completely cool in the oven for your crisp outer. good luck.
Pavlova # 1
3 egg whites
8oz caster sugar
Pinch salt
1 tsp vinegar
Beat egg whites with salt until quite stiff.
Beat in sugar very gradually
Add vanilla and vinegar, and beat again until mixed in.
Place the mixture in a 20cm circle on greased paper on a greased oven tray, and bake slowly 100—110 deg C. for about 1-1/2 hrs.
Leave the pavlova to cool in the oven until completely cold. *This makes the outside crunchier.*
****This recipe has a firmer centre.**
Serve topped with whipped cream and fresh fruit.
*or
Pavlova # 2
3 egg whites
3 TBSPS cold water
1 cup caster sugar
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 tsps cornflour
Beat egg whites until stiff.
Add water and beat again.
Add sugar very gradually whilst still beating.
Slow beater and add vinegar, vanilla, and corn flour.
Line an oven tray with baking paper.
Spread the pavlova mixture evenly in a 20cm circle evenly over the paper.
Bake at 110 deg C for 45 mins. Then leave to
completely cool in the oven.
This pavlova has a softer centre. ***

scrambled eggs for lunch

rainrain1 - 2014-02-24 06:51:00

I take it you mean baked goods that are suitable for morning or afternoon tea, rather than main courses. This is very versatile.

Bacon and Egg Slab

4 - 5 servings
150g chopped bacon, fried until fat runs
100g chopped mushrooms
200g cooked spinach, chopped and well drained
60g parmesan or tasty cheddar, grated
10 eggs
Pepper
Salt

120g thinly sliced tomato


Line a cake tin or baking dish with non stick paper, then spread over bacon and mushrooms (this also helps to hold the sides of the paper out).
Put the eggs into a bowl and mix to combine yolks and whites, then add salt and pepper, spinach and cheese.
Mix well, then pour over bacon and mushrooms.
Spread out, arrange sliced tomato on top
Bake 180g in pre-heated oven until just set.

This reheats well and is nice cold

Variations

Ham and asparagus with gruyere or blue cheese

Hot-smoked salmon, feta and spinach with a little mint or oregano

Leek & Potato Frittata
1 leek
2 Large Potatoes
1T Olive oil
4 Rashers Bacon
8 Eggs
Salt & Pepper

Cut the leeks in half - wash them and slice them (about 5mm slices)
Cube the 2 potato's into 1cm cubes
Slice the bacon.
Gently fry all of the above in the 1T olive oil until potatoes almost cooked

I transferred the above mx into my square silicone baker. Beat up the eggs with some salt and pepper - poured over the mix. Sprinkled with some grated cheese (and I also added some pumpkin, sunflower & sesame seeds - you could miss these out but I had some in the pantry and they give the top a lovely flavour - And make it look like "café" food)

It was delicious - even meat & 3 veg hubby liked it.

Fry them whole in olive oil, add to a little composed salad of soft herbs and young lettuce (some fried pancetta would be good here, or some smoked salmon). Don't boil them as they are almost impossible to shell cleanly.

Whisk 8 eggs, add chopped tomato, chopped bacon, garlic chives, parsley, a tsp Colemans mustard and cracked black pepper. Grate a little parmesan on top then ladle into large greased muffin pans and bake at 180C for around 25 - 30 mins. Yum! That was brunch this morning served on mesclun with a dollop of chutney and caramelised onions, and the rest have been refrigerated for lunch/snacks for Tuesday.

You only have to turn them every day so the yolk does not stick to the shell.

Yes kay141 - usually bev00 bumps these threads up - good on her/him for doing that. Lots of great recipes have got lost when no-one bumped them!

Interestingly enough I have never ever seen any post on here that it is "not appropriate" for him/her to do that - but lots of griping etc if I "dare" to do the same.

Also I have asked this question more than once: WHY???

Is He/She more able to check what needs to be bumped than any other contributor - or what is it that makes her/him worth more to check what needs to be bumped and what not?

And why is he/she not ever called out for bumping a thread ?

2 onions, finely chopped
2 tab coriander leaves, chopped
2 tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp desiccated coconut
1 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp chili flakes

Heat the ghee in a wide saucepan, add onion and coriander and cook gently until soft and pale gold. Add turmeric, salt, coconut, chilli and garam masala, mix well and cook 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and yoghurt, combine gently. Place eggs on top with yolks up, carefully spoon the sauce over the eggs, cover and simmer 10 minutes.
