Often I just throw them into scrambled eggs so I don't waste 'em. Brush on bread or rolls for a fancy glaze. :) Katie Olivia,

So I have about 10 egg white in the freezer waiting to be used! I only use them for maple syrup meringues at the moment. Need to find more ways to use them up.

If it's an egg dish that is calling for egg whites to be "healthy", then I'm sure you could just keep the overall quantity of egg the same and use whole eggs. If it's a cake or something that wants egg whites, you're going to mess it up. ;) Egg yolks and whites have really different consistencies and actions. Yolks make great mayo, Caesar dressing, ice cream, and white are good for meringue, white cakes, glazes, etc. No need to waste either white or yolk - just find a recipe that calls for the other half OR have scrambled eggs with the extra yolks within a few days! Hope that helps! :) Katie Sonia,

It's got me started on sooo many good and healthy meals! I have recipes that call for egg whites and I just hate to waste the yolk! I'm worried about screwing up the recipe though. Do you have to make any changes if you use the whole egg for recipes that call for just the egg whites? (ie. if it says 2 egg whites, use just 1 full egg? what if it says 1 egg white?) This is the big reason I haven't just thrown the whole egg in! lol Please help if you can! :) Thanks! Katie I love your blog! It’s got me started on sooo many good and healthy meals!
