The best by date is in 2 days. I know about the water test for egg freshness so I’m not super concerned, but please give me ideas for using them up within a week or so 🥺 I’ve boiled a few and am planning to make some cookie dough, but that only counts for half a dozen.
Custards and flans come to mind, pickled eggs are also wonderful and keep for a while. I’m partial to shakshuka, though it won’t use the eggs up as quickly as a frittata or quiche would.
I might make a custard - I didn’t know it was so simple to make. Would whisking be hand still achieve the desired texture, or is this the kind of recipe you need a machine for?
It absolutely can be done by hand, though it may be the dish that convinces you that an electric mixer is worthwhile! 🤣
I’d say if you’ve made a hollandaise or whipped cream by hand, its a bit less work than that.
I often cheat a bit and make a simple custard from 3 eggs, 1 can of evaporated milk, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and a teaspoon of vanilla extract, whisked together and baked in a water bath until still jiggly in the center, but otherwise set and that’s barely any effort. Make a caramel to coat the bottom of your baking vessel that you add before the custard mixture and call that a flan.
I don’t have a mixer 😞 thanks though
