Leftover Egg Yolks? Here's What to Do!

[linojackie]

I have been on a diet for the last few weeks and have been making scrambled egg whites in the morning for breakfast. However, this leaves a ton of egg yolks left over and I can't bear to waste them. Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can use them or a recipe that calls for like a dozen egg yolks?

the Egg Nog parfait in Festive Holiday Desserts uses egg yolks.

hollandaise sauce. I've never made it before, but I'm pretty sure it uses egg yolks.

Homemade mayonnaise
Custard
Lemon pudding (from scratch, not the boxed kind, obviously)

Wasn't there a recipe that called for it...like the chocolate molten cakes from '07 f/w? I'll have to dig out that SB and see...

LOL - all I could think was.............Well, there goes the diet!!!

Sorry, I have no recipe either - but that made me chuckle!

That's funny, because I had a feeling people were going to think I was nuts! But actually, I will make it and either my family eats it, or I will share it with my neighbors/friends/customers, etc. SOMETIMES I will sneak a little taste..just to make sure it's not poisoned or anything!

Can't you make homemade noodles with egg yolks? Not sure...

Check on allrecipes.com You can search by ingredient and maybe you can find a great recipe that way!!

You can make some Wonderful French Toast ( for the rest of the family that is) add some milk/half&half, vanilla & cinnamon!! Or scramble them up with onions peppers etc...HTH

Rachael Ray mentioned a tip the other day about freezing the white in a ziploc bag when you only need the yolk, I don't see why you couldn't freeze the yolk instead... Just make sure you label it! Oh - and she was using the yolk as a glaze for a glaze on some sort of baked bread. I'd freeze it and use it to glaze pies for the holidays!
