The recipe calls for 2 cups chopped boiled eggs. Now I looked it up and about 3 large or x-large eggs equals 1/2 cup but that is uncooked. I don't care if I need to boil 12 eggs to get 2 cups, I just want to be in the ballpark of what I need. I have a feeling that 12 boiled eggs might be too much to make 2 cups chopped boiled eggs.
I don't think too many of you will want the recipe since it is a snack for dogs (the only time I cook), but here it is:
From the PetPlan blog:
½ cup each chopped celery, carrots and spinach
2 cups chopped boiled egg
2 cups 2% cottage cheese
1 tablespoon kelp powder
¼ cup nutritional yeast
Directions
Combine veggies in a blender and blend until minced or puréed. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Divide into portions appropriate for your pets’ caloric intake (each cup contains about 160 calories).
I called all the appropriate places in town and I found kelp granules at Whole Foods, so I hope that will be an acceptable substitute for kelp powder. Will that be a 1 to 1 conversion ratio do you think? |

It might not be. Does anyone in your house eat egg salad? Put boiled eggs on their salads or eat them just by themselves? Cook up the dozen and see. Eat the leftovers  Hit enter too soon, I meant to also link this: Eggs |

The volume of uncooked vs cooked eggs doesn't change a lot. How fine a dice will be a bigger factor. If you "dice" the eggs in quarter about 3 will make two cups. If you do a fine mince you could use closer to 18.
I would go with anywhere form 8-12 (less than a dozen if you it means you don't need to make a special trip to the store) or a full dozen if you have them. This is a type of recipe where being off with the eggs won't have a big affect on the outcome of the dish.

Without googling or checking with anyone I would estimate 7 eggs to make 2 cups of chopped eggs. And if that was slightly under 2 cups I wouldn't worry about the difference in this particular recipe.

My local Sprouts store (like Whole Foods but cheaper and smaller) has kelp powder in the bulk spices section. If you use granules instead, you should probably grind or blend it to a powder.

I was surprised because I called Natural Grocers, Sprouts, and TJs, and they all said they didn't have any powder. My local Sprouts is new, but not all that big, maybe I'll have to check a different location. Thanks for the tip! |

Thanks everyone, I'll go ahead and go with an even dozen. I'll eat on a hard-boiled egg on occasion so if I do have any leftovers, it won't go to waste.
