Eggs will be a great low price this week. So, here's some ideas:
Quiche

3 hrs before dinner, make a quick and easy pie crust:

1 c. shortening/lard

2 c. four

1 Tb. salt

(can add Parmesan or savory herbs into the pie crust as well).

Roll out and lay in a deep dish pie/quiche pan and fork vent holes for steam. Refrigerate for a few hours. (The cold fat/oil in a hot oven will keep the the flour layers, resulting in a flaky crust)

For the filling, about 1 hr before dinner:

Separate 6 eggs (keep yokes in a small bowl, and whites in a large bowl)

1.For yoke mixture, beat together:

6 yokes

1 tsp garlic

3 Tbs Parmesan cheese, grated

1 tsp basil

1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper, ground

2.Whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form.

3. Fold in yoke mixture into the egg whites

4. In a greased pan (or skillet), layer in egg mixture with leftovers (whatever you like: ham, cheese, onions, peppers, asparagus, spinach, etc.).

5. Bake in 35 min. at 350 F. (or until golden and eggs are done in the middle).

Deviled Eggs

Hard boil eggs (place 6 eggs in warm water, bring to a boil for 15 min.; place immediately in cold water to stop the cooking; crack and peel; slice in half; spoon out yoke into a bowl; make yoke and pipe it (or spoon it) back into the egg white --- good for 2 days refrigerated)

6 hard boiled yokes

3 Tb mayo

1 1/2 tsp vinegar

1 tsp spicy brown mustard ( a "squirt")

Sweet and Savory:

1 tsp yellow mustard ( a "squirt")
