It's that time of year when all of our hens are laying and it feels like we have eggs and eggs and eggs for days! So what do you do with all those eggs? Cook with them of course. I'm sure you've been eating eggs every day for breakfast though (aren't we all?) so what else can we make with lots of eggs? Desserts and more desserts!!
Luckily (since we're not yet into the heat of Summer) it's a perfect time to make baked desserts and other dishes using all those excess eggs. The current slightly cool temps mean baking warms the kitchen without overheating the house. So grab your egg basket and get ready for dessert!
I checked in with the best food bloggers the interwebs has to offer and found some of the most A-mazing dessert recipes and some of them use as many of 13 eggs! I told you we could use up those eggs.

Because I absolutely have to organize things, I've listed these recipes in order of how many whole eggs they use. What started out as a small list of 20ish recipes soon turned in to a massive list of amazing desserts from some of the best recipe creators on the internet!
So without further chit chat here are the absolute best dessert recipes to use up your extra eggs!

Is it just me, or are you suddenly hungry too? Do you have a recipe in mind to make first? I'm slowly making my way through this list and everything has just been amazing! Plus, I'm finally running out of eggs.
Sorry if my organization method seemed a little wonky...I'm not a recipe creator so I wasn't sure how I should order them. Whoops. I hope you enjoyed the list!
