This picture pretty much shows the amount of eggs we go through weekly. We purchase 10 dozen eggs a week from a local family who has free range chickens. At only 2.00 a doz. it is an expensive, good for you food that goes a long way. What more could you ask for?

What are some ways you like to use eggs?
We served this with asparagus and cornbread!
Pizza Frittata
(fyi,we doubled it for our family and it barely was enough)
6 oz. softened cream cheese
6 eggs
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. each basil and oregano leaves
2 T. butter
1 1/2 C. chopped green peppers (we used black olives since I didn't have peppers)
24 slices chopped pepperoni
Beat cream cheese, eggs, salt and seasonings. Melt butter in 10 inch ovenproof skillet. Add vegetables, cook and stir 5 min. Add cream cheese mixture and stir well. Cover pan and cook for about 5 minutes or until the center is almost set. Then set under broiler for about 5 minutes until finished.

all of the above :-) and I also love making souflee!!!
We have 20 laying hens, plenty of eggs daily over here too :-)
Too funny! I remember hearing a friend of mine tell that she went through 5 doz eggs a week (this is back when we had two children) and I could not believe it :-0 Now 10 doz is no big deal in our home either~

We keep chickens at our house but they are slowing down on laying right now. We will soon have to buy eggs until they pick up again. Needless to say, we love eggs.
I'm always on the lookout for another egg recipe. Thanks so much. We go through quite a few around here, too. But, you've got a good thing going with that egg deal! Wow. What a blessing. :)
