[Sca-cooks] egg recipes

[Aurelia Coritana]

For all those with an embarassing number of eggs to use, how about this lovely recipe from Ancient Rome? It's hard boiled eggs with pine nut sauce, and the sauce is absolutely addictive. 
   
  Ancient Roman Egg Recipe:     For medium-boiled eggs: Pepper, lovage, and soaked pine nuts. Pour on honey and vinegar; mix with garum    - Apicius     Modern Egg Recipe:     4 medium-boiled eggs
2 ounces pine nuts
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
Pinch each of pepper and lovage (or celery leaf)      1. Soak the pine nuts 3-4 hours beforehand in the vinegar.    2. Mix all the sauce ingredients thoroughly in a blender. This sauce should be presented in a sauce boat so that each person can serve himself or herself, since the eggs cannot be sliced and placed on a dish in advance.

As I mentioned, I acquired a few laying hens, and they're LAYING. Not only 
that, but Rob, not thinking, went and bought another flat of eggs (containing 
about 5 dozen. Since the laying hens are providing better than half a dozen 
eggs per day, and I expect that number to increase as they get better settled 
into their new home, we have eggs, eggs, and more eggs.

SO... I need egg recipes. Period, modern, it doesn't matter. The only 
ingredients I want to avoid are mushrooms and bell peppers (serious allergy, 
and passionate dislike). I'm making a couple dozen deviled eggs at the 
moment, but any more suggestions will be gratefully appreciated ;-)
