Recipes to Use Up Eggs
Eggs are the fastest way to turn fridge odds and ends into a meal. These are recipes where eggs are the main event.
When you have eggs to use up, a frittata, Spanish tortilla or omelette takes almost any leftover vegetable or meat. Shakshuka poaches eggs in a tomato sauce, and egg drop soup or egg fried noodles use one or two in minutes.
