Egg Yolks

Shoe Lover

Hi All,

I'm going to be making a meringue on Saturday and I'm looking for something to do with the egg yolks afterwards? Waste not, want not and all of that! Any ideas?

Thanks!

Have salmon and do a Hollandaise sauce.

Or chocolate mousse.

custard..

They'll keep in the fridge for a couple of days. Make proper carbonara for dinner.

Alternatively, they're really good for conditioning long hair - whisk, slather onto damp hair, leave for ten minutes, then rinse with cool water.

Or, if you have a dog, mix a yolk into his dinner every night til they're gone, it's really good for their coat.

Dogs can also eat egg shells, they're full of calcium.

Lemon meringue pie... or just the lemon curd and it can be stored in the fridge for a few weeks.

Mayonnaise or an ommlette.

I have experimented a lot recently with using up egg yolks.

Lemon curd can be made with a number of yolks, once you add one full egg.
It doesn't seem to work with only yolks.

I find an omelette with only yolks too "eggy" for me, but others might like it.

If you have loads, You can freeze them, but defrosting is a bit tricky, it needs to be done slowly
at room temperature. You are supposed to break up the yolk with a fork and add a pinch of salt before freezing. If you freeze them in ice cube cartons, you can defrost them individually to add to batter, omelettes, scrambled eggs over time.

Agree with the lemon curd idea, I have had success with 4 egg yolks and 1 whole egg, had enough to share, some for eating on scones and to make a lemon ice terrine (handy way to use up any meringue that is left over or broken!). Whip cream, mix through lemon curd and broken-up meringue (not crushed), tip into lined loaf tin and freeze.

Lemon Curd sounds like a plan Thanks everyone!
