1. How about this site?

Left Over Egg Yolks
http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/leftovereggyolks.htm

There's a bunch of egg yolk recipe links at the bottom of the page. I always meant to try aioli and there's a recipe link for it there, too.

7. Aioli! Mmmmmmmmmm!!!

My SO made that once with scallops (or was it shrimp?). A lot of work, but so delicious.

2. Make my favorite--creme brulee!!

Yum....egg yolks, cream, sugar and a vanilla bean. Such simplicity, so sublime.

4. recipe? Dang, I was going to order some cream from the dairy last

week and didn't cuz it added too much to the bill

I really need to do that :)

5. I freeze them.

Then in 6 or 8 months when I run across them I throw them out. I am so lazy.

6. ROFL that sounds like me. I have had so many "mystery packets"

in my freezers

I am getting better though about marking stuff (but still FAR from organized)

I ended up putting them in the lentil soup but it really didn't add anything to the soup other than a strange color/texture. It was still good enough to eat with a salad and my sheepherder potato bread from this weekend


i did make a cake mix and some yummy cream cheese frosting

Cream Cheese Frosting

9 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Mix in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer. If necessary, add milk to make of spreading consistency.


The Beast beat it up beautifully and I needed no milk for consistency. Much better than the store brand, has a nice "bite" to it. :)

8. I was going to suggest egg drop soup

But I guess the whites are important for that. If you have pets and they can handle egg, they might like a scrambled egg yolk for a treat.

10. I kept a freezer log for awhile.

Put everything on an inventory with a date and then crossed it off when I used it. That way I could just flip through the paperwork and see what need to be used or losed. Unfortunately, I have not been that organized recently. But it was a great system, and not much work after the original inventory effort. I need to get back to it.

9. I can think of a few

Fried Rice, yummm

Custard, or as a base for custard ice cream. I can't wait until my kid wants egg whites so I can make more BTS lemon custard ice cream.

Chocolate pudding.

Base for French toast. Mix with light cream, and orange juice with a little orange zest, have some stale bread available to sop up the mixture and bake or fry.

Hollandaise sauce.

11. The fried rice is a good idea for left over egg whites, too.

And it is something I actually make.

I always think, I will freeze these left over egg whites or yolks and then make something fabulous with them at a later date. Of course I never do.
