Whether you have an abundance of eggs or are just looking for ways to sneak more protein in your diet, these recipes that use up eggs are delicious and practical.
It is egg season around here. You may not think of eggs a seasonal food, but hens substantially slow down their production during the winter when the days get short. The amount of daylight has a significant effect on their production, so when the days start getting longer they start picking up the pace.
While we love to eat eggs cooked in a variety of ways, there are times we get tired of hard boiled eggs and scrambled eggs. That’s where these recipes come in. From easy breakfast ideas like crepes to decadent deserts like homemade ice cream, these recipes will help you use up an entire carton of eggs.
If you don’t feel like whipping up a recipe, learn how to preserve eggs with these 5 easy methods.

Your eggs are so clean! How do you keep them this way?
After freezing eggs, how do they taste if you thaw them and scramble them?
They are not bad! You can tell a little bit of difference from a regular scrambled egg, but not much!
Hi! What is the process you are going through with your eggs all over the kitchen? I get that you’re decorating, but they all look spotless. I see that you washed them in your video. What did you wash them with? Did those eggs go in the freezer? Do all of the ones you leave out just happen to be clean? My girls get dirty!
I’ve found that a super clean nesting box is what keeps my eggs cleaner!
For the water glassing, you said 1oz of lime to 8oz water here. On your other post, you said 1oz of lime to 1 quart of water. That is a huge difference. The 1oz of lime to 1qt of water is what I also find elsewhere. You may wish to correct this.
Nice, helpful post. The ads bugger up my computer and make it about unbearable to read though.
May I ask you a few things that came to mind after reading this. Why sugar or salt?
When glassing – given eggs sometime arrive with poppy on them, how to you clean them before glassing the eggs? I would think any poop might cause contamination. Well that it all. And thank you for your response in advance.
The yolks last better and don’t get as gummy if you add a sprinkle of salt or sugar to the eggs before freezing.
You can learn more about water glassing in my blog post here: https://www.farmhouseonboone.com/water-glassing-eggs
how to tell if an egg is bad after collecting
You recently posted a video on freeze drying your eggs. I would be interested in knowing what make of freeze dryer you purchased if you would be able to tell me. I am looking to invest in one and I think that the one that you have would be perfect. Thank you so much. I really do love your videos and tutorials. They have been very informative.
I have a freeze dryer. It is a Harvest Right, medium size. I really like it. We lucked out and found a used one for half the price. There were over 50 people interested and my husband got there first. Butthey work grear for all kinds of food.
Thank you, you rock! This may be your hobby and you may make a lil money on the side, but the real fact is, this is a ministry you have and are blessing families all over!
Wish you well 🌸

Bearnaise sauce. Uses up 12 egg yolks at a time! The whites go to the dog and cat:
Jimmy Moore’s Homemade Keto Bernaise Sauce
Ingredients:
5 tbs butter
12 eggs
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
Pinch of dried Basil, or another spice of your choice such as Italian Seasoning or Tarragon
Pinch of sea salt (more if unsalted butter)
Pinch of ground black pepper
1. In a small skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter. While it melts, in a large mixing bowl
separate the eggs from the egg whites, discarding the whites. Beat the yolks thoroughly until smooth
and creamy.
2. To the skillet, add the white wine vinegar, dried basil, sea salt, and pepper and reduce the heat to medium low.
Allow to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Finally add the butter.
3. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes, then pour the butter mixture slowly into the beaten egg yolks, stirring constantly.
Once all the butter is in the bowl, whisk briskly until a beautiful creamy sauce emerges.
4. Use immediately and pour on top of spaghetti squash, grass-fed steak, or anything you want to add more fat to.
How long will the eggs last in the freezer when you froze them in cupcake form?
Thanks.
How do you use your eggs that have been frozen in muffin pans?
I let them thaw and then use them in baked goods, strata, French toast casserole, or scramble them.
