    What can I make with lots of eggs?

    Have nearly a dozen eggs in the fridge that have a best before date in a few days. I know they'll still probably be fine to use after that date, but I just prefer not to...what can I make in the next couple of days that will use them up? We aren't big egg eaters..I don't know what possessed me to buy a dozen of them

    DF isn't a huge quiche fan, but I might make one anyway, or some mini quiches as he loves them, just don't know if I can be bothered mucking around with pastry (even though I use the frozen sheets) at the moment...

    Any other ideas? I'd love to make a chocolate mousse and some meringues to use up the whites, but can't eat raw egg at the moment

    well the mereingues would be cooked - so you can have them...
    some other ideas:

    quiche
    egg custard
    frittata
    zucchini loaf (there is a fab recipe on here that uses 4 eggs)
    french toast
    souffle
    fried rice
    pasta carbonara

    you can also add an egg to lots of things to add a bit of protein...
    like a white/cheese sauce (on pasta or vegies) you can whip an egg through when cooking the sauce
    i often beat an egg through a stir fry or fried rice or even 2 min noodles

    Oooh if you want meringues, you can use the yolks for carbonara...mmmm....

    Egg and bacon pie
    Scrambled eggs
    Baked eggs (Cai if you read this, is your recipe on BB?)
    Cake or muffins or biscuits that use eggs
    Egg sandwiches

    You'll get through them!

    Lots of great suggestions here! I use 4 eggs in a large fruit cake.
