Good Dessert recipe to use up eggs?

I have a dozen eggs that are going to go bad if I don't use them. I love to bake and cook and was thinking of a recipe for dessert tonight that would use a lot of them but all I can think of is some kind of custard and that is as far as I got! Any suggestions? It can be a challenging recipe that would be fun!

What about some meringues to go along with the custard? Custard filled meringues are decadent!

I usually just hard boil our eggs when they are getting close to expiring.

I can't believe I didn't think about meringues! SO yummy, I have never filled them with custard though, that sounds too good. I think I will go make some now while DD is asleep. It's funny I hate hard boiled eggs because they smell weird to me but DH absolutely loves them.

Creme Brulee for the yolks and meringues for the whites. Can I come over?

Not strictly a dessert recipe, but it would use up 6 eggs (or all, if you made two). I often make this apple oven pancake to use up eggs around our place.

I think Flan uses a lot of eggs. I haven't made it from scratch in a LONG time though... usually MIL will make it or I buy it.

Usually if I need to use up eggs I make deviled eggs.. dp loves them. Egg salad is also good.

Sponge cake? Meringue?

Even better, do like my mother-in-law; make a sponge cake layer & a meringue layer, put melted chocolate between the two.

You can make an angel food cake with a dozen egg whites and use the yolks for a creme anglaise sauce.

You could make a quiche or two and freeze them for easy meals later.

Great suggestion!

You can also go savory and make a quick quiche/frittatta. I invited a friend over once and had tons of eggs to use...I made a frittata using 6 eggs, whatever veggies I had on hand and come cheese..pop it in the oven and voila! no crust needed I also made a quick pound cake recipe and used a few more eggs...drizzle some custard and fruit over that...Mmmmmm
