Leftover yolks

[Auburn]

Hi

I'm making a pavlova and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for using the yolks from the eggs?!

I don't want to just chuck them out...!

custard?
yolk omelettes

lemon curd mix, 1 yolk juice of 1 lemon and zest and 2 tbsp of splenda in a bowl over simmering water its really nice and added to greek yoghurt it makes a lemon cream

You can freeze them til you need them.

I used mine to make the kids real Icecream after defrosting them.

Some of the cakes require more yolks abd it gives a richness to an omelette.

Add them to mashed potatoes to give a creamy taste.

I've been avoiding real mash since joining SW cos back in the day my mash consisted of half a tub of fresh cream and half a pack of butter but yesterday I added 1 egg yolk per person to the mash and whilst it isn't the same as cream and butter, it makes a pretty good substitute.

And if you're wondering what to do with the whites then I added them to 1 egg this morning for a breakfast omelette.

Hello there, I just tried the Lemon Curd but it wouldn't get thick enough to spread on Toast So my plan....mix it with Quark or Fromage Frais and freeze it

Jen, you can buy egg whites in a carton from most supermarkets. I don't know how much they cost, but saves wasting yolks

the lemon curd should of thickened maybe try cooking it a little longer , mine came out quite thick.
