I have 4 egg yolks - and yes, I apologize in advance for being lazy and not
doing a google. Just wondering how I can use them. Not hollaindaise
though. They will probably only last another day or so - or will they? I
made choc. chip meringues on Saturday so maybe they're even toast now!

Ick. I would throw them out. Once an egg is cracked, I say use it the
same day or freeze it. What does an egg yolk cost, three cents? Throw
it out.

Make some mayo. You can use it straight or make
salad dressing.

Well, quite. Spare *fresh* yolks, on the other hand ... bit of single cream,
bit of grated cheddar, twist of black pepper and a few drops of Worcester
sauce - scramble, dollop onto hot buttered toast, breakfast 🙂

Egg yolks will last a week in the fridge if covered with cold water and
stored in a loosely covered container.

I'm no biologist, but don't the little critters (bacteria) start breeding
once the shell cracks and air hits the yolk? Even refrigerated, at some
point, those yolks are going to go bad. I don't know when that is for sure,
but 4 days later? I'd pitch 'em, myself. I definitely wouldn't save them
til Saturday night!!

But do let us know what you decide and how it turns out.

Mayonnaise

Thanks but I already have home made mayonnaise in the fridge. I just always
use the whole egg - and am careful not to keep for longer than a week or
so -- although there are some that would say it only lasts for a couple of
days.

But I'm not dead yet!

Elaine

whip lightly with fork, put in dish, cover / wax paper, and cook in
microwave until just done. Then seive them, or chop them, and use on
salads, or in a sandwich with mayo.

I've posted this before, but I guess it is time again. There are three
parts to an egg, the shell, the yolk and the white. How many people
save the shells? Very few. They have some use, but unless you know in
advance what you need them for, they go right in the trash. Same for
the yolks, right in the trash, unless you have a use for them.

The protein is in the white. The yolk is full of cholesterol and
saturated fat. Although it is the best part, most of us can't afford to
eat them. Unless you are sure you don't have a cholesterol or weight
problem, unused egg yolks go right in the trash with the shells. Of
course, if you have a use for them, then use them. We normally use
whole eggs for cooking. Last advice I heard was a maximum of four whole
eggs per week.

With 4 yolks that's about a quart and a half of Mayo.
