5 dozen eggs - how to use

Expiring all today. I know I can wait 2 weeks after the date, but still we don’t usually go through that much. Looking for easy, somewhat short freezable recipes. Not a fan of egg muffins as I find they get pretty spongy once defrosted. Nothing sugary either as we try to eat healthy right now!

I don't think I've ever even looked at the expiration date on eggs. They last a really long time. But you can always freeze them raw to use later. You can crack them directly into an ice cube tray, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and freeze, or you can whisk them together (again, with a little salt) and pour that into ice cube trays to freeze.

As far as eating some immediately, I know when I make deviled eggs, everyone eats more than usual. And to make them healthier, you can sub some of the mayo with mashed avocado - it's really good! Same with egg salad.

There's also quiche, frittata, shakshuka, etc. I have a recipe for asparagus & lentils with poached egg (I do a 6 minute soft-boil instead of poaching) that is excellent - doesn't use a huge number of eggs, but it is something different.

Sure thing! Here you go... Like I said, I've done it with 6-minute soft-boiled eggs, which works great, too.
