TAJ Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 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?

bronze Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 The two I normally do together are creme brulee and meringue I also use odd halves in pasta and pasta sauces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 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.

Guest Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 There is a Lemon Meringue Roulade recipe on here somewhere - that uses both parts. I usually make mayonnaise and then make meringues (the dry ones which keep forever) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyBoo Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 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!
