What do you do when you have too many eggs? We've been averaging about 7 a day and my fridge is starting to run out of room.
Don't think I'm at a point yet where I can start selling them, so I have to find uses in cooking them instead. One of my favourite and easiest ways to get rid of 10 eggs quickly, is making the family omelettes. It's a fast meal, healthy and a crowd favourite. Here's my very simple recipe.
First you will need two eggs per omelette, your favourite ingredients along with your favourite cheese. Now I've made it no secret that I'm no conoisseur, so I like it simple. Here's what I add.
My omelettes must include the three above ingredients...ham, mushrooms and cheese. Preferrably black forest ham, fried mushrooms, and any kind of processed cheese. But I'm not that picky. Canned mushrooms and sliced cheese will do the trick just fine. So to begin, mix your eggs in a bowl along with two tablespoons of water and a dash of salt and pepper.
Poor it into a fry pan and cook on medium heat until done.
Add your ingredients to one half of the omelette and flip the other side over them.
Let it sit long enough for the cheese to melt and voila, she's done. Simple. Quick. Easy. Healthy.
One reason I dont want to get another 6 chicks in the Spring. We have 3 right now (we lost 3 of them this year), and I dont want 9 eggs a day! :-) We tend to have an extra dozen every couple of weeks to make egg salad.

I live a very simple life on a small hobby farm along with my husband, three kids, and an assortment of animals. Life may be simple but I love every minute of it.
