Liz CA Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I like to eat hard boiled egg whites for a quick protein boost but I don't usually eat the yolk. How long can I store them in the fridge and what can I do with them (other than chuck them eventually)? There are only so many Deviled Eggs one can make. It pains me to throw out something good.

BarbecueMom Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Homemade egg noodles. Or throw them at someone and say, "Ha ha, the yolk's on you!" You know what, just go with the noodles. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umsami Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) My yolks are cooked though... Hmm...could you separate the eggs first and then kind of poach the whites? What about adding to potato salad, macaroni salad, or tuna salad? Is there perhaps an animal shelter that would like the donation to supplement their dogs' food?

Tsuga Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Oh my god, how is this a question. (Teasing of course. :) ) Hollandaise sauce over biscuits with eggs over easy and smoked salmon or bacon/ham, every Sunday, because seriously, #YOLO. Snip some chives over that baby and serve with seasonal fruit. It is heaven. What food ought to be. If you don't own de Pomiane's book on French Cooking in 10 Minutes, buy it. It is worth the recipe for Hollandaise alone! Edited January 18, 2016 by Tsuga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieJ Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Do a google search for cooked egg yolks. There are lots of ideas. There was even a recipe for cookies. Not the one listed above, but real cut out cookies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have so many options. You know, I am thinking about this. I had a poaching pan years ago. It may just be worth crawling into the cabinet, way back there and see if it's still around. I'd poach the egg whites and make that fantastic looking lemon curd recipe from one of umsami's links. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I feed them to the dog. I am intrigued by the cookies and the salad dressing sounds good, too. Poor pup may be losing his treat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibiche Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) My favorite biscuit recipe uses cooked egg yolks. I can't remember if it came from James Beard or Rose Levy Beranbaum, but either way it is good. Here's a link: http://food52.com/blog/3564-james-beard-s-strawberry-shortcakes When white asparagus is in season I always use sieved egg yolks and melted butter to top it. Might not sound appetizing, but it is delicious. That's traditional, but I don't know why it wouldn't work with other vegetables.

heartlikealion Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I like to eat hard boiled egg whites for a quick protein boost but I don't usually eat the yolk. How long can I store them in the fridge and what can I do with them (other than chuck them eventually)? There are only so many Deviled Eggs one can make. It pains me to throw out something good. To feed to someone else? I make tuna salad with hard boiled eggs sometimes. I guess if I didn't have the whites I could still throw the yolks in. I would do the same with a green salad. Or just you know, eat the whole egg ;) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Blender Hollaindaise Sauce!!!! It'll take less than a minute and it goes on everything! Sorry. Just noticed the yolks are cooked. Got excited. I vote you cook your egg whites differently so you can have hollaindaise sauce.

Daria Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I have fed them to her (Boxer) but only one a day because I don't want her to get high cholesterol. :lol: :lol: I used to put a lot of thought into what I fed my dog. One day, I picked up my son from aftercare and rushed across town to get to the store that sold the grain free, organic, human grade, something else expensive, dog food. My son was hungry, so we stopped and picked up McDonald's on the way. I'm not sure of the moral of this story other than if egg yolks are too dangerous for your dog, you probably shouldn't be eating them yourself, even in cookie form. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this is precisely why they are getting collected in the fridge. I may eat three egg whites (cooked) in a day but not three yolks. Tomorrow, I am going to look for my poaching pan and perhaps poach the whites and see if I can use the uncooked yolks in one of the many recipes linked here.

StephanieZ Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hollandaise sauce. Or, my favorite, Bernaise sauce. Mmmmm, good. You could feed the occasional one to your dog, if you have a dog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
