E is for eggs...and egg recipes!



For those of us who have chickens, this time of year is a time of plenty (of eggs!) following a season of more scarcity (of eggs!) In wintertime we keep a light on them to keep them laying, but we only get a few eggs a day...as opposed to now, when they are ALL laying (except for the one old lady hen who is 8 years old and has stopped laying, but we still like her anyhow!  She's been a good hen for us, now it's her retirement years :) )

ANYWAY!!! The point is that this time of year we have a lot of eggs!  Like 10 a day, and there are 5 of us in our family...so we're eating lots of eggs right about now!  :)  We have some basic staples (like fried eggs which are such a quick and easy breakfast), and of course scrambled, and what we call quiche, but is more like a fritatta (eggs scrambled with veggies, meats, and cheese, then baked).

Other times we find a new recipe and try it and love it! I have several posts about different egg recipes, such as:

Pizza Quiche: 



SO--this time of year we're always looking for new egg recipes!  Any of you have any favorites you'd like to share?  Please feel free to share in the comments or link to a post you have made with a recipe!

  2. the pizza quiche looks interesting! My favorite with eggs is simple egg salad or deviled eggs. :-) How about souffle?

  4. Eggs are such a good protein source. I linked up a favorite recipe of mine from my doula website. It's one I was introduced to after one of my children was born. It was a delicious baby moon gift from a friend!

  5. We love this time of plenty as well! Our chickens are laying good and we are eating lots of eggs. I'll have to check out those recipes. We enjoy a big egg casserole with eggs, cheese, sausage, potatoes, and broccoli or zucchini (which also tends to be plentiful this time of year).
