We find ourselves having to make tons of eggs for family gatherings, parties, and holiday meals. With this in mind, we usually try to plan for 2 eggs per person. It might be a little different if it involves kids, but to be on the safe side, we try to keep everyone with enough eggs for a 2-egg scrambled egg. We usually make a dozen eggs for our family of 8, so you may have to test your own family based on kids vs adults and egg preference.
