I have a box of 6 eggs that expire today, what can I do with them?

The eggs will be good a minimum of 5 or 6 days past the date on the container. But if you feel you must use them today you could always break them, beat them up, pour two beaten eggs at a time in a baggie or storage container and freeze them. Then the next time you have a recipe that calls for two beaten eggs, you just thaw and use!

Or you can hard boil them and serve egg salad sandwiches for lunch sometime in the next few days. Or just hard boil them and have plain hard boiled eggs for breakfast or lunch the next few days.

Or make a super easy fritatta by breaking all the eggs in a bowl, beat them, mix in some basic spices...any that you like, add a couple tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese or whatever cheese you have handy, mix in some sauteed veggies and maybe some ham or other meat if you have it around the house...then spray a pie tin with cooking spray, pour in the egg mixture, bake at 375 until it gets puffy and looks done...about 20-25 minutes. Cut it in wedges and serve it along side a simple salad for a brunch tomorrow AM or even for dinner.

I make the fritatta and then cut it up, freeze each wedge and have that for my breakfast throughout the week.

You could make a couple batches of browies and some cookies and give them to neighbors or take them to your local Senior Center on Monday.

How about making a big batch of eggnog and tossing in some rum or brandy and having an impromptu girlfriend party sleep over tonight. Tell all your available gal pals to bring their sweats or PJs, bring some snacks to pass or an appetizer type dish to pass, get some cool old movies like the Rocky series or Grease and do facials and your toes and fingernails...like when you were 12! But drink the spiked eggnog all night!

Hi!

You can boil them and that way it will keep them from spoiling.

You could make an egg salad or deviled eggs. A bread pudding with a tot of brandy and some raisins and cinnamon would be nice and warming in this weather.... that is if you are somewhere in a cold climate. Also, if you are making salad, you could chop hard cooked egg quite fine and then sprinkle them over the finished salad, giving what some call a 'mimosa salad' because the little sprinkles of yellow resemble mimosa blossoms.

Another idea: make a frittata which would use them up all at once. A frittata is made of grated potato and onion layered in a buttered casserole dish with beaten egg poured over it ... baked and then turned out onto a plate and cut into wedges and served warm.. It reheats nicely .... can add spices or ham or peppers and the like for more flavor. Cheers!

p.s. the other night Martha Stewart, the lady with the cooking show on TV, said that canaries like the hard cooked yolks, so if you don't want all your eggs and if you know any nearby canaries...I just had to add that!

You could hard boil them and then mix with either mayo or salad cream and store in the fridge for egg sandwiches. If you have a family these will keep for a few days and then easily be eaten in that time. Alternatively you can bake a large sponge cake. If you use 8ozs of SR Flour and 8ozs Butter or Margarine you will need 6 eggs and some milk to mix. Cream the butter and 8ozs of caster sugar together until white and then gradually add the beaten eggs (only a small amount at a time or it will curdle) until you have a creamy consistency. Now gently stir in the flour and if too dry add a small quantity of milk. Divide the mixture and pour into 2 ready greased and floured sponge tins. Then bake in a moderate oven for approx. 20 - 25 minutes until golden brown and springy to the touch, If you push lightly in the centre with a clean finger the sponge should spring back when cooked. Enjoy!

If they've been in the fridge then you'll probably be okay to keep them to use tomorrow, but what I usually do when I gota use eggs quickly is make a cake, 4 eggs mixed with 225g each of sugar, flour, and margerine...mix the sugar and marg first, then beat in the eggs and add the flour last, and keep beating with a whisk until perfectly smooth. Pour into 2 greased sandwich tins and cook for about half an hour at 190 degrees...comes out lovely and uses most of your eggs...

Have fun cooking! :-)

Do you really want to take your chance on 20 day old expired eggs? If so, you try it first before feeding the eggs to your family. I hope you throw them out for the sake of your stomach!

As a kid, when we had spare eggs (we ALWAYS DID), we would do this fun little craft.

What you need:

(Atleast) 1 Egg (In your case, 6)

A pot of boiling water

The stove

Onion Skins

Instructions:

Get the onion skins and wrap them around the eggs (weird, huh?)

Put the wrapped eggs in the pot of boiling water. It should be on the stove on high.

Wait for about an hour and a half or so.

THE EGGS WILL BE GOLDEN!!!!!!

In my childhood, when Mom did this, I always played "Golden Egg". I don't remember exactly how it goes, but I would put the "gold" on a pillow, like it was royal or something, and try to find the "Gold-Laying Goose".

Cake is a good one.

My mum has given me her Victoria sponge receipe. You know its a good one!

for 1 20cm wide cake tin

6oz of self rasing flour

6oz of caster sugar / switch with coco powder - 3oz sugar/3oz coco

6oz butter

3 eggs

put it all in a bowl and mix till smooth. Pour into cake tin and bake for 20 mins at 170C

Icing- to cover 1 cake of the above reciepe.

4oz of plain chocolate

2oz Butter

1 egg beaten

6oz icing sugar.

Melt the butter and chocolate in a bowl above boiling water. Keep stiring till its smooth and there are no lumps.

take of the heat

add the egg and stir in.

sieve the icing sugar in and mix.

spread over the cooked cake with knife.

Eat with cup of tea.

with your last egg have a fried egg sandwich

Make a bread and butter pudding or a v calorific quiche with ham cheese and cream and 6 eggs!

I have eaten eggs up to 3 weeks over the expiry and I've been fine! I never look at expiry dates cos I think they are too cautious and I think that's why I never get a bad botty!

you could make a couple of pund cakes. also, when eggs reach the date on the package, they're not "expired", they have simply reached the end of that grade. grade AA eggs are now A, grade A are now B, etc. they won't make you sick, they just won't taste as fresh or look as pretty. when eggs from the store go past their date, they get taken back to the plant and are repackaged and sold under the next grade. don't worry about the date!

How about home-made mayonnaise? I'm sorry I don't have a recipe to give you- I just know that it uses lots of eggs.

Any decent search-engine should be able to give you the other items if you look for 'mayonnaise, ingredients'

Good luck and happy cooking!
