Can anyone suggest a use for one or two egg whites?
 
Sometimes a recipe calls for one or two egg yolks and I am left with the
whites. The problem is, I don't have a freezer, so I can't freeze the
whites for later use. I don't like to waste food, though.

Can anyone suggest a use for one or two egg whites? Preferably, it
would be best that it could be something I could make right away, after
making the recipe requiring the egg yolks, as I only have a small
refrigerator.

And no, buying another refrigerator is not on as I live in a rented flat
with a tiny kitchen and no room for a bigger refrigerator or a separate
freezer.

Thanks in advance for your help.

That happened to me once, leftover egg whites, I didn't have the heart
to throw them out. Well, it wound up being an egg white omelette and,
much to my surprise, it was excellent.

Simply add it to a recipe calling for whole eggs... a couple extra whites in a
quiche wouldn't even be noticed... or give yourself a quickie facial.

When making omelettes or scrambled eggs for two, I put in 3 regular
eggs and two egg whites and two handfuls of water.

I also add 1 egg white to pancakes along with a regular egg. Not to
crèpes though. It makes them too bland.

You can add 50 ml egg white to replace one egg in scads of recipes
that call for two or more eggs.

Actually, I never have egg whites left over, so I buy egg whites in a
carton and use that instead.

Thank you and everyone who has answered. I never thought of a yolkless

Thanks for this. Oh, I have used egg whites for a facial, but I don't
need one every time I end up with egg whites so it is good to know I can
use them in cooking as well. As I said, thanks to everyone who has

They compost very well. Bury them a foot deep in the garden with
the crushed shells and any other organic scraps from the day. In
a month or so they will be many lbs of fresh food.

Scramble the egg whites up, heat them in a fry pan
like regular scrambled agges and eat them.

Well if you have any eggs left in your refrigerator you could save the whites
for the morning and use them in scrambled eggs. Note: I'm not saying to make
scrambled egg whites. Make scrambled eggs the normal way with whole eggs but
add the extra whites in with them. Personally if I couldn't do something like
that I would just toss the whites down the drain. For just one or two egg
whites it's not worth it.

Mix it in with your pets food, assuming you have a dog or cat. It's great

According to research I've done on this (because I make my husband egg
white omelettes almost every morning and then feed one or two of the yolks
to my dogs) I believe that egg whites aren't that great for dogs unless
they are fed with the yolk at the same time. Or unless the egg whites are
cooked.

This because the raw whites contain avidin, a protein that blocks
absorption of biotin in the body. However, the yolks contain lots of
biotin, so feeding the two together is better.

There are differing opinions on this, but it's something to be aware of.

As for using extra egg whites:

I went through a period where I used lots of egg yolks making things like
lemon curds and various custards, and I'd save the egg whites to make
meringue cookies. I'd slip them into a zip lock back and write the number
of whites on it with a sharpie, and then when I'd accumulated a great
bunch, I'd spend a morning making the cookies. They are pretty simple to
make - egg whites, cream of tartar, sugar (you can customize with
flavorings and things like chips) - here's a link to an easy recipe:

According to research I've done on this (because I make my husband egg
white omelettes almost every morning and then feed one or two of the yolks
to my dogs) I believe that egg whites aren't that great for dogs unless
they are fed with the yolk at the same time. Or unless the egg whites are
cooked.

This because the raw whites contain avidin, a protein that blocks
absorption of biotin in the body. However, the yolks contain lots of
biotin, so feeding the two together is better.

There are differing opinions on this, but it's something to be aware of.

Egg whites freeze well. Put them into a custard cup, and keep a tally of how
many are there on the side of the cup using a grease pencil or pen on
masking tape. When you have enough for a full recipe, say, or meringues, you
can thaw them and use them. Just be sure to keep them scrupulously free of
any oil or fat, as that will prevent them from whipping up (if you want to
use them whipped, that is).

There is a very good out of print (to my knowledge) cookbook
called "The Other Half of the Egg"... I think it's by
Madeline Kamen.

You can use them instead of whole eggs in popovers. Popovers are wuick
to mix and easy to cook.

I'm afraid I would fry them in hot bacon grease (rendered from fatty
U.S.-style bacon) until they're crispy at the edges. Salt and pepper.
Nowadays I usually drain them on paper towel to placate my conscience.

Not something for every day, of course. But once in a while shouldn't
hurt.

I make an omelet that night or the next day and add the extra whites
to that -- makes a very light omelet!

I normally have extra yolks, particularly in the winter when I make
several pounds of divinity from scratch for a church cookie and candy
sale. With extra yolks I make noodle dough for the freezer (dust
saucer-size disks about 1/2 " thick and put into freezer bags.)

If you like egg noodles without yolks, make noodle dough with the
extra whites.
