Egg recipes?

We have chickens, tons of eggs which we are trying to make more use of rather than giving too many away.

I have loads of 'calorie dense' egg recipes (cakes, brownies, yorkshire puddings, mayo etc), and I make a lot of frittata & omelette. Hubby is on a diet and won't eat eggs straight (scrambled, poached, fried, any type of boiled etc), so I wondered if anyone had any deficit friendly recipes to use up lots of eggs?

    One thing I have learned: raw egg yolks don't freeze well. It was a little scary.

    unfortunately I like rich custards and puddings for my eggs if not in an omelet, which aren't exactly healthy.

    tablespoon butter or margarine, softened

    1
    tablespoon chopped fresh chives
    Additional cooked real bacon bits or pieces

    Directions

    Biscuit cups can be baked the day before and stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Just fill with scrambled eggs and serve.

    MMMM I love eggs! I could eat them all day!

    Quiches are the simple go to ideas.

    Another option is making boiled egg curry. Just make any curry sauce you like. Boil some eggs. Throw them in. BAM you got yourself an egg curry!

    I also love mixing egg with chorizo and topping tostadas or making burritos! MMMM I freaking love eggs!

    I make scotch eggs with any leftover eggs. I use sausage meat bought from the supermarket but you could make your own.

    4 eggs
    8 sausages
    30g breadcrumbs
    1 tbsp garlic powder
    1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
    salt and pepper to taste

    Hard boil the eggs, let them cool and then remove the skins of two sausages and wrap around an egg.

    Mix the dry ingredients and roll the scotch eggs in it till fully coated, then bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 25 minutes.

    They last up to 4 days in the fridge and they can be frozen too. I eat them for breakfast as they work out to be 266 calories each and 26g of protein.
