It’s that time of year. The time where, for us chicken keepers, our hens our providing us with an abundance of eggs. In fact, we are currently in egg overload around here. But what to do with extra eggs?
Originally published in 2017, this post has been updated in 2019.
We have sold some and even given some away, but our chickens are still producing extremely well. I’ve made a lot of scrambled eggs and quiches.
But with my family, I need to keep things fresh and exciting. I mean, there’s only so many things I can do before everyone starts to feel burned out.
So, I have partnered with several homestead and food bloggers to share this fresh list of ideas for when you don’t know what to do with all of those extra eggs.
