It's about five cents' worth of egg. If you don't feel like cooking it
now and eating it, I'd say toss it.

I'd add it to scrambled eggs in the morning. Or I'd poach it and eat it.
Yolk is the best part of an egg.

You apathetically threw a whole egg away and seconds later you're
trying to be frugal to save just a yolk of another?

And they're even better from preserved egg (in lye, Chinese style).
The whites I'm indifferent to, but those greenish-purple-grey yolks
are excellent.

Back when I ate eggs I would have just put it in some scrambled eggs. I
believe my mom would just put it in a custard cup and cover it with a bit of
water until she was ready to use it.

My first thought was custard/flan.

Never trust a dog to watch your food.

I made a souffle a couple months back and had an extra egg yolk. I
figured I would just nuke it about 30 seconds and munch on it. Little
did I know it exploded in about five seconds and went all over the
inside of my microwave.

What did you do with all the other separated yolks?

When microwaves were new, I was fairly young and I was learning to
cook. I nuked an egg to warm it, and when I cut into the egg with a
fork, the egg yolk exploded. Pow! I blinked my eyes and eyelids were
heavy, I had powdered egg yolk all over my eyelashes, my hair and
everywhere else. I won't do that again.

Yep, made the 'chocolate ice box cake'. When I broke the first egg to
separate the yolk from the white, some egg shell had gotten into the
white. So, I had use an extra egg for its white, leaving an extra yolk.
Didn't want to include any egg shell in the finished product!

I always jut fish the eggshell out. It's an acquired skill, but it's not
that hard.

It was easier to resort to an extra egg instead.

Do you use an eggshell to do it? That's the way I was taught and it
works for me, so if the occasion ever arises it's not a complete
catastrophe.

And it's most easily done with a toothpick.

I'd have added that one lonely yolk with the other three eggs... even
though it calls for large eggs all the eggs in a carton of a dozen
vary in size... that recipe would never know there's an extra yolk,
may even make it better.

My cats love egg yolks. I just crack the first egg and they are there
waiting (I have mostly egg white omelets.)

I never have extra yolks. My problem is extra whites.

Right, with part of the shell you just broke off. Works like a charm.

Uff! Sounds like a bitch to clean up.

Whenever I make angelfood, I know I will soon make hollandaise sauce with the yolks. Goes well with many things. Double boiler, yolks, EVOO and some acid (lime juice). Just add the liquids slowly as you wisk. Great EZbeans sauce.

Extra yolks for cakes. Extra whites for macaroons. Scrambled eggs works
also.
