It's very easy. I like it really tart and add extra grated peel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-909833 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:26:25 +0000 Tanya 909833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you everyone for all the amazing suggestions and recipes! &nbsp;I will make sure to try some of them out the next time. &nbsp; I have never made lemon curd before but hope it should turn out fine. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-909530 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 22:06:44 +0000 texstyle 909530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Make your own mayonnaise! I do it all the time. Or Caesar dressing...lots of other suggestions here already. Egg yolks have many minerals so add a couple extra to scrambled eggs.&nbsp; French toast is supposed to be made ONLY with the yolks so enjoy some for breakfast! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-909325 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 18:00:19 +0000 Sara L. 909325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Pudding!&nbsp; It was my favorite dessert that my mom made when I was young.&nbsp; She only made it when she had leftover egg yolks after making something that only needed the whites. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-908947 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 03:32:05 +0000 fern 908947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ We get 3 eggs a day right now from our urban hens &amp; these are great ideas for eggs in general. I'll be making lemon curd for sure! Then I'll have to make angelfood cake to balance it out. :)<br />We eat a lot of frittata and always throw an egg into veggie stir-fry.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-908379 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:30:08 +0000 anne 908379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Iceream, frozen parfait and spaghetti carbonara.<br /><br />I think you can freeze them, thought I haven't tried - mostly I freeze whites<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-908096 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 03:48:44 +0000 Parsley 908096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hollandaise sauce!<br />Although lemon curd sounds wonderful, too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-908024 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:48:57 +0000 Anonymous 908024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Edit button isn't working but I just found Hollandaise Sauce abd Bearnaise Sauce that take egg yolks, esp. the Bearnaise that takes 4 egg yolks. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-908009 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 01:36:54 +0000 Anonymous 908009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You can freeze lemon curd after it's made.&nbsp; It makes a great filling for fancy cakes.&nbsp; I also like to swirl it through cheesecake.<br />My grandmother used to use egg whites for homemade angelfood cake and the egg yokes for&nbsp;pound cake.<br />Here is what i think is her recipe for a pound cake baked in a loaf pan:<br />Loaf o' Gold Cake<br />2 1/4 cups cake flour <i>or</i>&nbsp; 1 3/4 cups regular flour (sifted or measured by dip-level-pour method)<br />1 cup sugar<br />2 tsp. baking powder<br />1 tsp. salt<br />1/2 cup soft shortening (half butter)<br />1 tsp. vanilla extract<br />5 egg yolks (3/4 cup) unbeaten<br />3/4 cup milk<br />Heat oven to 350 degrees (mod.) Grease and line with parchment paper a loaf pan 9x5x3.&nbsp; Blend&nbsp;dry ingredients&nbsp;in bowl.&nbsp; Add shortening, vanilla egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the milk. (If using regular flour, add all&nbsp;milk at once). Beat 2 min. medium speed on mixer or 300 vigorous strokes by hand.&nbsp; Scrape sides ande bottom of bowl constantly.&nbsp; Add rest of milk. Beat 2 more minutes, scraping bowl frequently.&nbsp; Spoon batter into pan.&nbsp; Bake 60-70 minutes.&nbsp; Gool and finish with an orange glaze of 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 tsp. grated orange peel, and 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar mixed and let to stand on top of the oven while cake bakes.&nbsp; When cake is baked and removed from oven, punch holes in the top surface with a fork. Pour on warm glaze a little at a time, over the top.<br /><br />Another idea is Pot de creme au Chocolat, simple custard (it can be served with fresh fruit), homemade ice cream and Bavarian Cream desserts. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-907950 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 23:55:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 907950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Frittatas - I put cooked veggies in mine &amp; an extra couple of whole eggs.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://culinaryarts.about.com/od/eggsdairy/r/spinbacchedfrit.htm">http://culinaryarts.about.com/.....edfrit.htm</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-907907 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 22:47:48 +0000 Angie 907907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fried them up with white rice, soy sauce, a little garlic and chili. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-907818 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 20:49:31 +0000 Jules 907818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know my friend freezes the whites to make meringue later. Not sure if you can do that with yolks. You could also just make yolk-rich scrambled eggs (including a whole egg or two) and I've also made yolk-rich baked goods - can't remember exactly what though - yellow cake uses lots of yolks I think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-907740 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:14:57 +0000 Diana 907740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lemon curd. You can then make a lemon tart with it or just eat it on toast. I like it in my Greek yogurt for breakfast too. Actually I usually just use whole eggs (so as not to have leftover whites) but it is better with just yolks.<br /> <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/348239/lemon-curd" rel="nofollow">http://www.marthastewart.com/348239/lemon-curd</a></p> <p>Or Creme brûlée, custard, pots au Creme, pretty much any custardy dessert.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-907637 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:35:42 +0000 Kristin L 907637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've heard of people using eggs as a hair mask for deep conditioning. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-907615 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:09:19 +0000 lyn* 907615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My dad makes scrambled eggs with them with some soya sauce to put on top of plain congee! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-907597 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 16:54:30 +0000 Laurinda 907597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have the opposite problem -- too many egg whites! I store those in the fridge for up to a week while I put off making meringue. <br /><br />My yolk-heavy favorites:<br /><br />Lemon curd<br /><br />Creme Brulee<br /><br />and I use them in my cheesecake recipe. <br /><br />Or just add an extra yolk or two when you make scrambled eggs, or make a puppy very happy (cooked for less risk).<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-use-left-over-egg-yolks-for#post-907584 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 16:35:34 +0000 Tanya 907584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love to bake and have been baking a lot lately, particularly&nbsp;&nbsp;various fancy cakes for occasions like moving-out-of-the country parties etc. &nbsp;I am actually baking one such cake right now. &nbsp;The thing is that I end up making of lot of meringue/angel food cake type cake layers &nbsp;that can use up to 12 egg whites each&nbsp;and have a bunch of left over yolks that I do not know what to do with!<br /><br />Any ideas for simple recipes? &nbsp;Can they be stored over longer time period/frozen etc. ? I feel bad throwing them away each time
