Default Egg whites

When you see a recipe requiring one or more egg whites what do you do wuth
the yolks? I've never seen a recipe using just egg yolks.

TIA

I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook.

There is a recipe for salted chocolate chip cookies in the current issue
of "Bake from scratch" that uses 6 yolks (large).

I made some tonkotsu ramen the other night at 11:00 for my wife. I used fresh Sun Noodles but I can make a pretty good bowl of noodles with the $.25/bag stuff too.

Ditto - if I am going to have scrambled eggs I deliberately remove
one/two egg whites for another occasion. The egg whites freeze very
well until you need them, but I didn't find yolks would freeze.

I am reminded of something that happened some years ago. My wife is very
good at making meringues and makes them frequently. One time she made a
batch that involved some cocoa and slivered almonds. She had a bunch of
yolks leftover. She used them to make chocolate pots de creme, but then
used the pudding as a filling between layers of chocolate almond
meringue to make a sort of torte.

Me too. Or - use it raw to top a good homemade ramen meal, not the cheap
bagged stuff. A raw yolk adds a nice richness to your bowl.

The merange (sp?) on a lemon pie uses only the whites.

My wife had allergy tests a couple weeks and was told she is allergic to
egg yolks. She started making egg white omelets. I objected to her
throwing out half the egg(s) or giving them to the dog. I suggested
that she pay the Eggbeater stuff. She tried them and they were okay, but
they cost almost as much as whole eggs. Now the dog is getting lots of
egg yolks.

Hm, was there EVER an allergy test that came back "ALL CLEAR"?

If she's allergic to egg, watch out for vaccines that contain it.

Very good for dogs; ours always gets two or three raw eggs a week,
cracked onto his dinner.

When we kept chickens, the dogs always got any cracked eggs or soft-
shells. At peak laying periods we had so many the kids and dogs would be
eating good eggs every day, and I also used to beat up and freeze whole
eggs. They are fine to defrost and cook with but use them up in a month
or two; IME beaten yolk+white freezer life is not very long.

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.

I don't know if it has been mentioned yet: Lemon curd.

For me the first thing comes to mind is a smoothie... has to be a
zillion variations but my favorite is pina colada; pineapple juice,
vanilla ice cream, Coco Lopez, and rum... add the egg yolk and blend.

Eggnog is good too... if too eggy simply add more booze.

People who bother to separate eggs freeze the yolks and have something
in mind for later use. (Custards and such.) If all you need is a
couple of egg whites you might do well to look for Egg Beaters or one of
those type products. No yolks there, even though they're tinted yellow.
They come in small cartons so you can measure out whatever would equal
the white of an egg or two. Just a thought, since I never cook anything
which only requires egg whites.

When I tried to talk my wife into buying egg beaters to avoid wasting so
many yolks I discovered that a container that holds the equivalent of a
dozen eggs costs almost as much as a dozen eggs.

Oh, probably so. Decades ago (when Egg Beaters were fairly new on
the market) a doctor put my mother on a "low cholesterol" diet.* That
was back in the days when some studies about cholesterol thought eggs
and especially eggs with yolks were evil.

* Back then it was the same with pushing butter substitutes. This
doctor recommended Benecol or something like that. To allegedly lower
her cholesterol levels. She bought something that was a butter spread
substitute. Smart Balance. Thing is, she didn't use butter every day.
Neither did my Dad. She was talked into buying some expensive butter
substitute "for her health" by her [then] doctor.

I did say I never cook anything which only require egg whites. Ken
didn't specify what kind of recipe he's looking at which calls for
whites sans yolks. I suggested custard for leftover egg yolks purely
based on posts I've read from years past. I also never a need only for
egg yolks. Sorry, never have made custard of any kind.

I just discovered that. Walmart, for one, has cartons with just egg
whites.

I did not make the broth. That comes in a packet and it's sort of a gooey paste. That stuff is wonderful and magic. Sun buys it from a Japanese manufacturer. I predict that this type of noodle product will make it big in homes on the mainland. Heck, I think I'll make it for lunch today. I have the miso flavor - we like that better than the tonkotsu.

This link didn't work for me a few minutes ago. I'm wondering though -
did you make your own homemade tonkotsu broth? Sounds like a lot of
work/time. I've been using the dry noodles out of the cheap bags so far
but I plan to look in the fresh area for the Sun Noodles. They sound
good and I know that fresh taste better than dried. Half the time, I
make my own pasta. Doesn't take long and the taste difference is well
worth the time.
