RECYCLING "YOLKS"

You decided to make a meringue pie, it turned out fabulous and the family loved it.

Only problem now is, what to do with the egg yolks. You hate to throw them out, but there are hardly any recipes out there that ask for just “yolks”.

Recycle your yolks by cooking them and using them as garnish on soups and salads.

After you are done separating your eggs for your recipe, place the yolks in a small bowl filled with water so that they don’t dry out.

Place a medium saucepan on the stove and bring to just a simmer over medium heat.

Using a slotted spoon, gently lift each egg yolk out of the bowl of water and place in the water and let cook until it is firm, about 5 minutes.

Gently lift them from the water and place on a paper towel to absorb the extra water.

After about 10-15 minutes place the yolks into a tightly sealed plastic container and refrigerate.

The next time that you make a salad or a soup that you would like to garnish, grab a ball and break it up in your fingers over the desired dish.

These will keep in the refrigerator for 8-10 days.
