What should I do with all of these egg yolks?!

[letfuller]

I just made popovers and my recipe called for egg whites, now I have all of these egg yolks. Any suggestions?

creme brulee' (burnt creams)
1 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
1 pt heavy whipping cream
1 T vanilla

beat the egg yolks and the sugar for approx 3 min. Heat the cream by itself in a heavy saucepan until bubbles form around the edges. Don't let it boil, it will curdle! Slowly beat the heated cream into the egg yolk mixture, then stir in the vanilla. Pour into 6 ramekins and place the ramekins in a glass or metal container with about 1/2 hot water around the ramekins. Bake at 425 F degrees for about 40-45 min. Cool in the refrigerator. After they've cooled, mix about 4 T white sugar with 1 t brown sugar and sprinkle over the top of the creams. Put them under the broiler and for heaven's sake keep a very close eye on them, it only takes a minute and I've ended up with 6 little pots of fire more than once. Take them out as soon as the sugar is liquified. Then eat them up.....ymmmmmmm

I was going to suggest something else, but I like Cindy's better.

Toss them-------I know you have the best of intentions in not wasting them---but for the two bucks you save I will bet they will stay in your fridge for months and start to grow fur before you will use them

creme brule sounds good, but knowing my luck I would burn the batch Will probably toss them today. I know it isn't much money; my momma just instilled the save and reuse concept with me. She is the only one I know who washes out ziploc bags to reuse.

There are tons of people that reuse ziplocs!

As for the yolks, you can not only do creme brulee... but I think a souffle is yolks as well.

I think you could use the yolks for baking a batch a muffins or a cake mix .

I think you make pound cake with just egg yolks. You could make a few loaves and then freeze them. Then just take out what you need and thaw.

Don't know the exact proportions because it is just one of those things that I do but tried this and adjust to taste.

eggs yolks - 3 or 4
dijon mustard (not honey) 1 tablespoon
grated cheese (locatelli romana) - 1/2 cup
fresh garlic - 3 or 4 cloves crushed
pepper - seasoned to taste
dash of wosteshire sauce (how do you spell that)
Juice of one lemon.
6 anchovies or what I usually do which is about 3 or 4 inches of anchovy paste.
Olive oil (maybe a cup?)

Start with the garlic and anchovie paste. crush both into the salad bowl. Add the egg yolks, the mustard, lemon, worchesire sauce, , pepper and cheese. Then wisk in the olive oil until it gets top the consistency that you want. I do the taste test thing and then adjust ingredients. (e.g. i might say that it needs garlic and add more or mustard etc.).

You can make this up to a day in advance, regrigerate and the re-whip in a salad bowl with a little more oil. toss in rommaine lettuce and garlic croutons and you are good to go.

I'd make homemade noodles! So easy and so good! Too bad I'm a low-carber (45 pounds and counting!)!!

I usually scramble them up and give them to the dog. I usually don't have alot at one time, and she loves them added to her food - good for her coat too.

Use them to make rice pudding. You need the yolks for the pudding part.

Have you thrown them away yet?
