You may want to consider the potential health risk of combining or pooling eggs. This quote is from a public health bulletin:

Quote:
Pooled eggs are raw unpasteurized eggs that have been cracked and combined together. The food code requires a food service facility to crack only enough eggs for immediate service in response to a consumer’s order.

The reason behind not pooling of eggs is that raw eggs can carry Salmonella (S. enteritidis) and when combined and left for a period of time, this will allow the bacteria to grow. Therefore, the code limits the time to allow pooled eggs for a consumer’s order to be limited to 30 minutes.
