Many recipes only call for egg whites, leaving us with egg yolks that most people throw away because they don’t know how to use them. If you have a tendency to do the same, here are the three best things that you can do with your leftover egg yolks.
Tasty Dishes
There are many tasty dishes you can make with your leftover egg yolks, ranging from savory to sweet. Homemade mayonnaise is the first thing that comes to mind, but you can also use egg yolks to make all sorts of tasty desserts, such as crème brûlée, vanilla ice cream, and pancakes.
Later Use
Even if you don’t want to use your egg yolks right away, you can easily store them for later use. Place them inside an airtight container, and make sure to add a sip of cold water so they wouldn’t dry out. You can also beat them and add a pinch of salt or sugar to the mix if you want to freeze them.
Outside of the Kitchen
Even if you don’t want to make a new dish with your leftover egg yolks, there are many ways to use them outside the kitchen. Homemade face masks and hair conditioners are only two of many creative DIY projects you can make with egg yolks.
