Other half of the egg

Recommended Posts

There is an old American cookbook of this name, but I cannot find it 2nd hand in the UK. The book is over 180 reciepes that use only yolks or whites apparently (never seen it) dated 1967, 1970 and 1985.

 

The idea is simple you make a pavlova, but what do you do with the yolks, you make mayonnaise but do you do with the whites?

 

So I thought we could start our own omlet version of recipes that only use half the egg to give us all some inspiration - can we beat 180?

I don't know if it counts but I've just bumped up my recipe for ice-cream meringue as you use the left over egg yolks to make the ice cream filling between the meringue layers.

 

The ice cream could be made on it's own of course to use up any extra egg yolks people have, just do the ,filling, part of the recipe.

Yesterday I made peppermint creams with a white (goodness they were fiddly!)

 

Then some biscuits with a yolk - BBC good food recipe for basic biscuit dough - they went down VERY well in the staffroom.

Lemon curd followed by meringue. So then I turn it into lemon meringue pie, which uses the lemon curd, so I have to make some more lemon curd, so then I have whites left so I make some meringue. Which gets turned into lemon meringue pie, which uses all the lemon curd, so I ..........it can be like Groundhog day in my kitchen!
