    Recipes one egg yolk

    Recipes with one egg yolk. There are many more recipes that would include a leftover yolk, as it makes the best glaze for pies, scones, brioche and more.

    Use the fresh yolks first and store the whites covered in the fridge (or freeze) to make macarons, meringues, teacakes and more egg white recipes.

    For much more, see all egg yolk recipes.
