I'm planning on making the angel food cake tomorrow so it means I'll have 12 egg yolks left to play with (angel food is made with a staggering number of egg whites only).
I've read that adding either salt or sugar to egg yolks keeps them from becoming gummy when you freeze them. The ratio is 1/2 teaspoon of salt stirred into to 1 cup of egg yolks or 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar stirred into 1 cup of egg yolks. I've never tried it so I can't say how well it works. Just remember to subtract the amount of salt or sugar that's in the egg yolks from the recipe you're making.
Thanks - I've made a note of that as it's quite interesting: either salt or sugar. By now I've managed to get rid of my yolks through one gateau breton, a couple od enriched scrambled breakfasts (yummyyy...) and mayo which is excellent!
Make homemade "blender stick" mayonnaise to go with the sandwiches - you'll find the recipe on Youtube. You will find it difficult to buy store bought after you make your first batch...,

Challah? That dough is very egg-yolk heavy.
your favourite deviled egg stuffing. Spread on a slice of self baked bread.
Egg Salad Sandwiches!
Lemon curd!
Egg sanwiches on challah followed by pots de creme with lemon curd - I could imagine worse...;-)
Something of this sort?

That's what I had at the back of my mind while thinking of all these egg yolks. How could I have forgotten? I even have my own version here.
Next question, how long will those egg yolks last in the fridge? Eggs are spanking fresh, from a farm shop.
I routinely leave egg wash in the fridge for a day or two. Besides, you can always freeze them.
Can you? I know you can freeze egg whites but yolks too?

Have made it and although I had before it is absolutely true - hard to believe you can enjoy shop bought stuff!
