I generally avoid making things that involve only yolks or only whites
unless I am also making something that will use the other component.
There is no problem with lemon meringue since both parts are being used.
I do have qualms about Galaktobouriko when I make it because the filling
calls for 6 yolks.

Now that my wife, the egg eater in the family, cannot eat the yolks I
can go ahead and make it and she can have egg white omelets. I have to
wonder about those egg white omelets. I have no intention of every
eating one because I always thought the yolk was the good part of the egg.
