Line them up in a row!

Or put them all in one basket!

Hatch them! And then read this story to Alice.

Sorry, someone had to say it.

Flan. Seriously. Or anything where the yolk is the star of the show.

I'm hardly the expert but this is what came to my mind as well.

i confess i like 'em raw, whipped up with a little bit of salt.

Hatch them.

Me too! Perhaps we were at the same farmers' market. Are yours green? Mine are!

If they're green, I'd guess they're mallard eggs. Pekins and Muscovies lay white eggs.

To the topic at hand, I confess I prefer to bake with them, rather than eating them plain. The yolks are very rich, but the whites are viscous, and cook up chewy.

We had them scrambled. They were good! Very mellow flavor and creamy.

With steak.

Quiche!

damn, I should have gone to *that* market.

my favorite thing to do with any egg I expect to be really good is to soft boil it. If I was better at poaching I might do that instead. Or if I had a sous-vide cooker I would cook it for an hour at lower than my oven goes - I think 180F is the magic temperature? (I imagine this is something like what Tony Maws does to the dish I love at Craigie Street.)
