Just because you CAN make something using eggs as the main ingredient, doesn’t mean that you should. Seriously. If our beautiful hens saw some of the wild creations you humans have been concocting using their eggs, they’d be disgusted. Whenever I see these dishes in the wild, I can’t help but think, “whoever made this was so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.” That’s a Jurassic Park reference by the way.
If your favorite dish happens to appear on this list, I apologize sincerely. It’s just that we take a lot of pride in providing the best eggs around and it hurts us when we see eggs that don’t get the opportunity to live up to their potential. With that being said, I can with 100% confidence say that using certified Farmer Boy Eggs will take any dish you decide to make to a whole new level. At the end of the day, we all love eggs — they’re wonderful. Now without any further adieu, let’s get cracking.
Egg-in-a-Hole
This is a travesty right here. Who was the sicko who thought, “Hey let’s take this perfectly good piece of toast and cut a hole in the middle and then dump an egg in it. Don’t worry, we’ll only cook it for 5 seconds so it's still raw and runny”? You might as well eat a piece of toast and then drink a raw egg out of a glass. Our fresh, organic eggs deserve better. Someone must have been really bored when they first tried this one out. Sometimes, the best dishes are created by accident. This is not such a case. This is something that should’ve stayed in the imagination phase.

Quiche

Egg Pie. That’s what I call this dish. In my opinion, the only things that should go in pies are fruit and meat. So it’s no surprise that this mushy excuse for a delicacy made this list. Quiche’s only redeeming quality is that 9 times out of 10, the dish is infused with grandma’s love which our hens can appreciate. I’ll also admit that it doesn’t look as bad as it tastes. Of all the dishes on this list, quiche has the most potential in terms of not being gross. This dish just needs a few fundamental modifications before I’d consider it to be edible.

Balut

Ew. For those of you who’ve had the pleasure of not knowing that this abomination exists, balut is a developing bird embryo that’s boiled and then slurped up right out of the shell. Apparently, it’s eaten as street food in some parts of the world. I can’t even begin to imagine why anyone would voluntarily subject themselves to this kind of torture. This is something straight out of Fear Factor. Either wait until the egg hatches and becomes a whole chicken, or eat it BEFORE it the fertilization process begins. Never choose to eat an egg at any point in between these two phases. Our hens would be mortified if they ever learned that this is a thing.

Egg Puff/Casserole
https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/green-chili-egg-puff/
Imagine taking the time to prepare this dish. Couldn’t be me. Now imagine being served this dish. I’ve been there, unfortunately. I have decent manners so I actually tried to enjoy the egg puff/casserole dish I was served. I literally couldn’t do it. My body refused to acknowledge the dish as actual human food. The green chili peppers sprinkled throughout did this meal no favors either. There’s honestly no way to make this dish taste good in my expert opinion. For real, we’d really appreciate if you made better use of our wonderful eggs. This is almost as bad as balut. Almost.

Spaghetti and Eggs
As if Italians needed ANOTHER reason to scoff at American cuisine. Preparing this dish should be a criminal offense. What a waste of perfectly good spaghetti. It’s a waste of salt and pepper also. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to eat spaghetti again after seeing this. RIP to one of my favorite meals...
