What to do with leftover egg yolks?

[JLiz]

I made an Angel Food Cake that used 12 egg whites leaving me with 12 egg yolks.

I just finished making lemon curd which used up 6, so I have 6 remaining yolks to use up. I’d make another batch of lemon curd, but I’m all out of lemons.

Any ideas?

There is a recipe called After Meringue cookies by the Best of Bridge. Try googling that. I’m not home or I’d copy the recipe for you.

Creme brulee!

All you need is sugar and heavy cream and egg yolks.

My favorite recipes that only use the yolks are for homemade ice cream and creme brulee!

No dog, two cats though.

I use egg yolks to “tighten up” my Alfredo sauce.

Here’s some recipes from a google search:

Throw them out.

Throw them out.

They're like a buck for 18 of them. I'd be throwing them out.

Pretty sure I’d just chuck them too but I would LOVE to have your grocery prices. A dozen store-brand eggs here are around 3 bucks and closer to $5 for free-range.

In one of my mother's old cookbooks there is a recipe for a babka that uses 12 egg yolks and 2 whole eggs. Not that she or I ever made it.

Last week a carton of 18 large eggs was on sale for $1.88.

I'd probably make several omelets with the yolks.

I was going to say the same thing. Once you start adding a bunch of ingredients to make something you wouldn't normally eat it really isn't saving anything.

I'd make scrambled eggs and slip a couple into the egg mix. Same with French toast batter. Or omelets.

I just made coconut custard, that took 4 yolks. I’m about to just eat it right out of the saucepan

I’m not trying to save a buck. I like cooking and baking, especially holiday treats.

That sounds good. Can you share a recipe?

 

[mom2rtk]

Just bought 18 more so I can make deviled eggs tomorrow. One whole dollar. You just have to be willing to sell your soul and be willing to shop at Wal-mat.

I do shop at Wal-Mart although not primarily for groceries. It wouldn’t matter though - Canadian grocery prices are waaaay higher (everywhere and for everything) than you pay in the States.
