Yes, you can use 3 egg yolks and save the whites for meringue. My Mom's old recipe card (her first Mother-in-law taught her how to cook) had a meringue top. We always preferred whipped cream on top so my mom would use 2 whole eggs. And the change to cornstarch is mine as I have better luck thickening with cornstarch, plus my son is gluten free, so I do this and use gluten free pie crust so he can eat it.
