Hi, is like to use the egg yolks tonight as I wouldn't want them to spoil. Any ideas?

Marzipan

Egg flip, plenty of nutmeg, the taste of December.

Or use to enrich a white sauce/cheese sauce.

PinkCloudDweller · 03/12/2017 16:46

I'm. I thought about hollandaise sauce, but it takes stacks of butter!

Choux pastry

Are they whole? If so poach or fry them and eat with toast. If not then custard.

We must be in tune truffle !

It depends what else you have that you can use them with

Lemon curd

I make pastry using an egg yoke rather than water , it makes it very short , but lovely , ideal to make small pies flans or turn overs

I sometimes make an egg yolk sponge. It's nice.

I’d make custard and add banana, it’s sunday after all 🍌

PinkCloudDweller · 03/12/2017 17:04

I think I'll go for custard. With banana, though? Do you then bake the whole thing?

You could make a super luxurious pasta carbonara? Bacon, olive oil, the yolks and a load of cheese stirred furiously into the the hot pasta with a spoon of the cooking water and loads of pepper?

ivykaty44 · 03/12/2017 18:02

No just chop the banana in cold

KarenW · 03/12/2017 22:07

can we add the seven egg whites that i have in my fridge to yours? WTF do i do with them, no one likes meringues in our house! Made crema catalana with the yolks, sooooo good!

GlomOfNit · 07/12/2017 18:53
