In my experience, eggs last a fairly long time after their expiration date if they have been well refrigerated. Your risk is likely whether these particular eggs were left out for an extended period before you acquired them. Some stores keep their eggs continuously refrigerated and some put the pallets in the aisle near the refrigerated section when they restock and get to it when they have time, perhaps many hours later, counting on the safety margin in the expiration dates to cover their period of poor storage. Do you feel lucky?
If it were me, I would be sure to cook them thoroughly.
Hey, would you use eggs with an expiration date of 2 weeks ago if when cracked they still look and smell fine?

Our USS Ustafish guidance was at least 60 days in the torpedo room bilge. The cooks verified this with a set of double-blind no-consent tests on the wardroom officers.If refrigerated or stored in the escape trunk they may be good up to 45 days or so. Past that they may smell funny even when scrambled...
At least that's what our cooks said back on the USS Ustafish.
We have a blonde friend who cleans out her freezer of all stale-dated foods. We asked her to call us and we will do it for her!My idea is that unless you are starving or very poor, since typical large eggs rarely cost more than $2.50-$3.00, why would you use anything about which there might possibly be a question?
