A dozen eggs.

Question for the crowd:

I just got a dozen eggs direct from a farm. What do I make?

Which kind of eggs?

Do you want to use them up all at once? Fresh eggs are good in their cartons for weeks. Use in baking, omelettes, fried eggs, scrambled eggs. Hard boil a few and eat at lunch, put a few slices into your pets food for the day.

Chicken eggs, 10 rather brown, 1 light brown, 1 white.

I'm excited because I'm a City Boy... eggs are usually only as fresh as the corner store gets them.

I want to do something to show them off. A quiche? I've got two leftover baked potatoes... frittata?

(I'll definitely soft-boil a few for my breakfast this week... runny eggs, yum!)

Jeff,

One of the ideas I forgot about that I posted...

"One idea I was considering is Eggs Benedict with a sort of Mediterranean twist (toasted bread topped with roasted eggplant, a mayo sauce of roasted red pepper, garlic and smoked paprika topped with the poached egg)."

It turned out to be quite popular.

Mmmm, Deviant Eggs Benedict. I like!

My other half won't touch eggplant. I think he'd like the classic rendition, actually.

Can you locate any morels right now? Morel omelettes is a spectactular combination. For simply showcasing eggs, a good cheese souffle isn't a bad way to go, either. Or how about any of the custard-type desserts (crème caramel/flan, crème brûlée)?

I like the morels idea. Souffle is too much work on a weeknight for me.

A very dear friend has already suggested flan. (Actually, she suggested Flan!)

I think the flavor of the eggs, and they are better than store-bought, can be lost in more complex recipes. I vote for poached 3 minutes and served on a slice of well buttered toast.

Eggsactly what I ws going to suggest.

Agree that the taste is best shown off with a runny yolk and no immediately competing flavours (i.e. not cooked together with anything else).

Omelette nature.

Salade Lyonnaise.

Well, if you don't want to use all the eggs at once, you can do a few of the suggestions that have been posted. I vote for Soufflés. Although the Quiche sounds good as does simply fried, over easy, on a piece of rustic toast.

Bah! Ya wimp! I whip up souffles while translating "Critique of Pure Reason" from the original Aramaic and solving the Riemann hypothesis.

Get busy, slacker!

Friends.

I think it's morels quiche tonight, poached/toast for breakfast. Six to go. Avgolemono is on my mind now....

So many good ideas!

Friends.

Be careful, Chef. Your feminine side is showing!!!

Eggs benedict for breakfast; a sausage, potato and fontina cheese frittata for dinner, and 1 lemon, 1 chocolate and 1 New York Cheesecake for dessert!!

If you can get fresh porcini, I'd say Terrina Fonduta would be a good choice.

Ooooooh, yeah! I'll bet it would be great with a morel creme on top and sauteed fresh morels on the bottom.

As of yesterday, morels are $26.95 at Berkeley Bowl.

They were a little cheaper a week ago. They were great, too. Damn, I have to get there this week...

So, does this mean you have no morels?

I think we suspected that all along.
