Sounds great - so do you boil them on the morning, to order, as such?
The first I knew of it was only a couple of years ago and it was due to Airbnb guests. I was doing a turnover and one of the first things I do is check the fridge for leftovers. (Often there are goodies that I take to eat).
This one time there was a packet of hard boiled eggs. I thought it was so weird that I took a photograph of the package before I threw them away especially so that I could show my English other half. He said he wouldnât have believed it either without the photo.
The next time I was in the supermarket I looked especially for them and there they were. Baffling

Just found this:
Unless I forget, I boil them the night before, put them into cold water to cool them quickly then keep them in the fridge. They are perfectly fresh for 3 days if you keep them in the fridge except when you have them on the table. I write Hard on them in pencil so guests know they are cooked! Very common in mainland Europe to have cold hard boiled eggs available. Personally, I think it is important to use good quality rather than cheap eggs which can be very tasteless.

Best served with Tapitio sauce:) Thatâs how I eat them for breakfast or lunch. I have 12 chickens I eat a lot of eggs:)

Mr Joan is a fan of gadgets. I have a kitchen drawer full of unused/discarded gadgets. The latest was indeed an egg cooker, for boiling or poaching.
Boiling: impossible to time well, takes ages, and they can explode!
Poaching: better, but the cups for poaching are a nightmare to get the remains of egg white off. Wire wool a necessity.
I was less than sympathetic when he scalded himself, and glad to see it tucked away.
Enjoy your eggs for yourselves and I love to hear of re-homed chucks!
I donât offer breakfast at my place, but when I do eat breakfast, I like to have some options for protein rather than just carbs & fat. Yogurt is OK, and cold cereal with milk, but eggs are also a fave. I was about to recommend the egg cooker when I saw your post, so Iâll just add my vote. There are several models, up to at least a 6-egg capacity, and theyâre easy to use. Just leave eggs in the fridge and instructions for hard- or soft-boiled, and there is a minimum of effort of cooking or cleanup. A hard-boiled egg or two can also be a nice take-along for lunch.
So go for it. Thereâs no need to be . . . chicken.

I have a friend that has Chickens and a B & B. The problem that happened to her with Home Chickens (which is more likelihood) some Eggs may go bad for whatever reason and then there will be Food Poisoning. She had two separate guests that ate eggs get Food Poisoning.
I serve Breakfast Options: Yogurt (low sugar), Fruit, Juice, Milk, Muffins or Croissants or Toast, Jam/Butter and Coffee. And have gotten very positive feed back. People seem to really like the Yogurt and Costco Muffins.
I have never ever had an egg go bad, my chickens are superstars, 10 out of 12 layed yesterday. I would never worry about this. I doubt is was the eggs.

if i were you and I wouldnât be able to cook Iâd keep the breakfast the way it is. Unless you are prepared to mop eggs from the floor, stove, stove top, microwave - you donât want to see how an egg explodes in a microwave - and scrub burned pans. Although most guests will be fine you will get some who donât have any ideas what they are doing and will make a mess in your kitchen.
Murphyâs laws: if it can happen, it will.
So I have re-thought this after reading a article @jaquo wrote and linked to somewhere. I realized I am encouraging a mess, look eggs lets get baconâŚ
No more eggs from me!

There are a few bad eggs. Its just the nature of eggs. If you use real farm fresh eggs, every once in a great while, like 1 in 100, youâll get a bad egg. If youâre smart, you donât eat that egg because the shell makes a crack and hiss and it smells really bad. If youâre not smart, then you should leave the cooking up to someone else.
I had a guest tell me he got influenza from my Airbnb. I didnât even bother to tell him this is a communicable disease only possibly spread from a live body and he was the only one there. I guess I would believe my guests food poisoning claims about as much as that. Thus probably why the Costco Yogurt and Muffins win. I like to eat healthy though so Iâd much rather eat something else.
