How old are your eggs, luvs? Eggs can safely be stored in the refrigerator for as long as 4 weeks. That is, if they are kept in their original carton in the lower, rear portion of the refrigerator.
wear them on your face, like me!

Float test the suckers-------if they still lie on the bottom of a container and don't float they are still great to go. If they float toss them. Animals love eggs and it's great for their coats as well. So you can always cook them for any dogs or cats that you own. And as pdswife suggests deviled eggs or egg salad are great. Also egg foo yung which uses egg as a basic ingredient--healthy and easy to make.
Might be an oppertunity to do some baking for a local charity group/hospital/hospice or old people's home. Simple sponges usually go doen well with people who have know home baking any more.
Fritata, courgettes are my current favourite, and with onions: great for lunch boxes etc.

As I mentioned a while back, my new favorite breakfast is an egg in a frame, or bullseye, or one eyed jack, or any other name for an egg put in a hole that's cut in the center of a piece of bread and cooked like a grilled cheese sandwich. I just finished one. I need to get a bigger non-stick pan so I can cook more than one at a time...
I also like hardboiled eggs and will cook them before the expiration date runs out and snack on them. No, I don't like hardboiled eggs, I love them.
As a matter of fact I'm picking up some wood this week and starting a chicken coop so I can have fresh eggs and a steady supply!

I always have two or three dozen eggs in the fridge. I need them for so many things, baking, and always making deviled eggs. Macaroni salad, hard boiled for my salads or just to snack on . They do keep a very long time I wouldn't worry about them.

I've always heard that properly refrigerated, eggs keep up to 3 months.
I buy eggs 60 at a time, or two flats. With five kids, that's the only way to go. I can usually get 2 - 3 weeks out of that, before I run out.
How about a Bacon, Vidalia, and cheese Quiche? I've been wanting to make one for days now, but my work schedule barely leaves me enough time to make a quick dinner.

Oooh - I second a nice platter of Deviled Eggs!! With that many you can experiment & make several different fillings!!
You can have them as a snack or appetizer, top salads with them, serve a couple as an entree side dish. . . .
Can you tell I love Deviled Eggs? Lol!!

lots of great ideas here, but what's your hurry? Unless you've had them hanging around for a month or so, they should be fine right where they are.

Eggs are still fine long after the exparation day. They can seat in refrigerator for weeks and weeks.
I wanted to say quiche, quiche, quiche - but legend 'beat' me to it.

Scramble eggs freeze very well. But do not freeze raw eggs. Once in a while everyone will have extra eggs in the refrigerator. (buy 1 get one free offers).
Like lulu suggested, if you do not want to deal with them and they are fresh, give them away. Your local food banks will accept them if they have a reasonable expiration date. Gardeners also give much needed fresh produce to the food banks.

I had a lot of eggs so I decided to hard boil them and then I put them through an egg slicer and diced them up and put 2 Cups of them in a quart freezer bag and froze them. Turned out that they are really great for stews, soups or what ever you all make with eggs in it. Potato salad and all other kinds of salad. I how ever would not use them for egg salad.

How about a bread pudding?
Custard pudding?
Ham, chicken, tuna, potato, or just plain egg salad?
Pickled eggs?
Scoth eggs?
Creamed eggs over toast?
