What to do with egg yokes???
 

I have chicken so have eggs, one of the way I use up the over run of eggs is to make angle food cake. but I just hate to throw out the yokes, I some times make nooldes with a few but that still dose not use up many of them. so I looking for way to use them up. any ideas???

* Cook them and add them to salads for extra protein
* Mix with hard boiled eggs for egg salad
* add with eggs for omelettes, frittatas, etc.
* Lemon Curd
* Sponge Cake
* puddings and custards
* mayonnaise


Ask Mr. Google for egg yolk recipes ... and you'll get lots of ideas!

Years ago, when we made scratch cakes, we made yellow chiffon cakes with the yolks. I'm sorry, I don't have the recipe. They were very light and we beat the egg yolks very much.

cream puffs and quiche.....noodles are good ....dumplings are better

Custard, ice cream, noodles (freeze the extras), lemon or orange curd, hollandaise sauce, Bernaise Sauce. Use to bind hamburgers, meat loaf or meat balls, feed them to your pets, I do not like eggs at all, but make all the above fairly regularly.

custard or mayonnaise. You can make mayo in the blender, wicked easy. Also I used to make custard in cups, put in fridge, and have it with fresh fruit for a great hot-weather breakfast.

ETA - if you have lots of extra eggs, why not trade with your neighbors for some fresh garden produce, or whatever?

You can make noodles, dry them then bag them to keep for months

Cook them and add to your dog's food if you have a dog. I had chickens a long time ago. I just loved having them, but I had way too many eggs. I've always had a bunch of dogs, too. I'd scramble a huge skillet of eggs for them every night and add to their dry kibble. They had the shiniest coats in town.

Easy for me. I would cook them and eat them. I love eggs anyway but raw of half raw. Sell some of the eggs and you won't get too many.

I had chickens and geese.I would cook and feed the eggs (yolks) back to them

You can cook the yolks and feed them back to your chickens as it's a good source of protein for them, or you can make daffodil cake which is just like angel food but you separate the eggs and use both yolks and whites for a two tone cake. I can't find the simple recipe online, only ones with added things like OJ or almonds... I originally found the recipe in the first issue of the From Scratch magazine. I'll look for it in the morning and post it if you're interested.

My mother made many angel food cakes. she used the yolks for 'sponge cake'. google spone cake and get a recipe. I can't find hers

We had chickens years ago and our dog loved the raw eggs. I would give him a whole one and he would hold it for a few seconds then gently crack it and lick the egg out. I had to watch him closely so he couldn't sneak into the coop before me and steal one.

Sorry to say, but I throw away the yolks. A single egg yolk has 80% of the cholesterol you should have in a day. Our family went to eating just egg whites when we have eggs for breakfast. On Weight Watchers a whole egg is 3 points, but 3 egg whites is 1 point. I never liked the yolks, anyway.

Use your egg yolks in yeast breads reduce the milk a bit and add about a quarter cup of yolks and make any kind of bread you like .Bread allows for a lot of variation.QUOTE]

Fine to look at it that way though .... consider the nutrition you are missing by not eating the yolk.
Eating is not just about eating WW PP! .........

I put butter in the skillet and make a quick omelet. I've also heated up bacon or sausage and threw some flour or corn starch to make a roux then combine milk/cream with the eggs (whipped lightly), make a sauce and just throw it over toast or biscuits. Just a different kind of pork gravy over biscuits.

At my house we call it 'POOR MAN'S S & BG BREAKFAST"

There are sponge cake recipes that use only yokes.

I go with 2 many projects for the noodles. They are sooooooo handy to have in the freezer, and don't take long to make. I have an original Amish Noodle recipe is anyone wants it. They are delicious!!Mariah

My Mom always made spritz when she had extra egg yolks

Spritz Cookies

1/2 lb butter
2/3 c sugar
3 egg yolks
1/2 tsp almond extract
2-1/2 c flour or more
dash salt

Cream butter, add sugar, then egg yolks. Add almond extract then flour. Extrude from cookie press onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in hot oven (400 F) Watch carefully, takes 5-8 min. Makes 10 dozen wreaths (the smallest cookie you can make with a cookie press)

Blender Hollandaise Sauce over top of poached eggs on English muffins!

Now you're talking!!!

My mother used this recipe especially if she make an angel food cake to use up egg yolks. This is a very old recipe so if you use a strong mixer you may not need to beat it as long as it says. I also have one that uses only 6 egg yolks - PM me if you want that one also.

Yellow Angel Food

11 large egg yolks
1/2 cup ice water
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla or other flavoring
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1. Beat egg yolks and ice water for 15 minutes

2. While they are beating sift dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and cream of tartar) 5 times.

3. When yolks are beaten add sugar 1 tsp at a time.

4. Add flavoring.

5. Add the flour a small amount at a time.

6. Place in an angel food cake pan.

7. Bake at 350 degrees 45 minute to an hour or until a tester comes out clean.

8. Cool as for an angel food cake.

I would love your recipe!
