Don’t Chuck It, Crack It! Jane’s No Waste Egg Hacks.

Did you know that Brits chuck out an eye-watering 720 million eggs every year? Yep – that’s a lot of perfectly good omelettes heading for the bin.

As part of our No Waste Campaign, we’re on a mission to help you make the most of what you’ve already got, especially when it comes to those beautiful, fresh eggs collected from your own flock.

So we asked chicken keeper and egg-enthusiast Jane Griffiths (@parkplacegower) to share her favourite ways to use up and preserve surplus eggs. Over to Jane…

1. Freeze them

I didn’t even know this was a thing until recently, but it absolutely is. Just lightly whisk any excess eggs before pouring into an ice cube tray and storing in the freezer.

2. Slap them on top of your curry

This is possibly my favourite thing ever, and if you haven’t already tried it, I strongly suggest you do. Adding a fried or boiled egg on top of a veggie curry is delish. Eggs are a staple in Indian cuisine – with good reason.

3. Pickle them

They’re ready to eat immediately, but to guarantee the best flavour, leave them to pickle for at least a few days. I nabbed my recipe off the internet – there’s loads on there and you can switch up the spices etc depending on what you have to hand. Snack of champions, allegedly. Particularly if you’re an old man in a pub.

 

Three super simple ways to make your eggs go further – no waste, no faff, just good food. Thanks Jane!

Whether you’re freezing for later, topping off a curry, or embracing your inner pub-snacking legend with a pickled egg, there’s plenty you can do to give every egg the love it deserves.

Which one are you trying first? Or have you got a tried-and-tested egg hack of your own? Share it with us in the comments.
