Egg White Recipes Needed!

[Jestgar]

A friend is making eggnog which uses 6 dozen egg yolks. I offered to take those pesky egg whites off her hands so now I'm looking for recipes, ideally ones that freeze well.

Meringue shells? I know I've frozen those in the past.

I also thought of coconut macaroons but don't know if they'd freeze well or not as I've never tried it...nor have I made them in ages.

I foresee a lot of meringues in your future.

Meringue pie Or egg white omelets.

Fluff cakes

6 egg whites

1 cup sugar

1/2 pint cream

1 tsp. vanilla

Beat egg whites 30 minutes add sugar very gradually.beat more. Drop the mixture from a spoon about 3 inches apart, on a well greased wax paper placed on a baking sheet. Light oven as you place cakes in. Bake very slowly about 40 minutes. Serve with whipped cream, put the cream on top of cake and another cake on top of that.

Recipe does not give oven temperature but I'd use temp advised for meringues.

This is from a 1930's Creole cookbook.

Yes, but not for very long, and this is 6 dozen egg whites....

Those meringue type cookies look good. I'll start sampling whiskey for flavoring straight away!

[pricklypear1971]

I'd try adding cocoa to the meringue cookie or the whipped cream. Also might add coffee extract.

I'd try orange liquor as well as sherry or bourbon...toss winter fruit in Cointreau and simple syrup and pile in the meringue.

Why not some macarons (as opposed to macaroons which are entirely different) as well? You can make tons of flavours - just google for hundreds of recipes. They are delicate, very French and naturally gluten free. Popular in bakeries. They also freeze (I would freeze without the fillings).

This looks easy.

I don't have a recipe offhand but if you like chili rellenos they are made in an egg white batter....

Hey Jestgar,

Ask her not to pollute your six dozen egg whites with any yolk if you're doing meringue.

There's a chocolate pie in a meringue pie shell that you make with 3/4 cup melted chocolate chips and whipped cream on Allrecipes, maybe My Mom's Favorite

Chocolate Pie. It was posted on the forum and is absolutely to die for, especially if you add a bit of dark chocolate to the chocolate chips and substitute Gran Marnier for the vanilla. And there's Pavlova to consider...

You're right though, those recipes only took 2-3 egg whites. I think you could refrigerate them for awhile (4 days) and make some nice omelets or scramled eggs too. I wonder if you can make egg foo yong with egg whites, what an interesting dilemna. (Personally, I find anything with bean sprouts and shrimp delicious, if you stuck some egg white in there, it would be even better.)

[Jestgar]

I plan to help her so I'll save the pristinest egg whites for me, and cook up anything with yolk bits in it for the chickens.
