You can freeze yolks, it helps if there is either salt or sugar added – 1/8 teaspoon of salt or 1-1/2 teaspoons of sugar or corn syrup with every four yolks you freeze to inhibit their becoming gelatinous.

I have the opposite problem…I can’t find a use for my extra egg yolks! I make egg white omelets and always have extra yolks. Please help!

Add another whole egg or two and scramble those babies up. Or make a frittata. Or omelet, like someone mentioned.

How about Spaghetti Carbonara with extra egg yellows? May be the sauce could be well frozen. Haven’t tried but with Deb’s so many frozen tricks working, don’t see any reason for this to fail.

Me, too , had the problem of having too many yolks left over. Any other suggestions what to do with them besides ice-cream?

Yay! I love that this post exists, thank you very much! Leftover egg whites from tonight’s leek & swiss chard tart = mom’s chocolate chip merengue cookies.

You can freeze yolks too. You might need a drop or two of water as you defrost them; they seem to dry.

Ok, here’s a weird twist on that. Say I want to make angel food cake, which calls for something insane like 12 egg WHITES. What do I do with all those yolks? I could make ice cream to go with the cake, but I’ve never seen an ice cream recipe call for more than 4-5 yolks. I don’t think the yolks will freeze… or will they?
