Eggy compost

I have half a bag of compost left over from last year. It's full of eggs. Various kinds. What's the best way to deal with it. The compost is in a container at the moment.
Ps. Real eggs not slow release fertiliser😊

    Spread it on a border where birds can eat the eggs or whatever hatches from them? Or brush into lawn as top-dressing?

    Probably slug eggs.  Jenny has the answer.

    I agree with Jenny, birds will thank you for slug eggs.

    Boil them and have them for breakfast.

    I haven't got the right size egg cups, I'm afraid. Do they scramble?
