What to do with 6 egg yolks.

[nola276]

I have 6 egg yolks left over from making a Pavlova.  I don't have any recipes for using them up.  I generally throw them out.  I am sure there must be something I can do with them, perhaps a custard or something.  Any suggestions.

Some sort of sauce perhaps, or lots of mayonnaise??

Some ideas here Nola

Icecream and then more icecream. They do freeze, I have seen it done. They go rubbery but are still fine.

[nola276]

Thanks for the ideas folks.  I never knew you could freeze them, will store that one away for the future.  I think this time, I may just go with the scrambled eggs idea.

[achookwoman]

When you freeze them you need to mix a little sugar OR salt in with them.  so they are OK when defrosted.

zabaglione?

(conventional recipes only use the yolks, not the whites)

oh thanks daska i have been sitting here, trying and trying  to think of that it was on the tip on my tongue 

[nola276]

zabaglione sounds great, but how would you do that in the Thermie.  Truth be told, I had never heard of it before and had to google it, sound a nice recipe on taste.com but don't know if it can be made in Thermie.

Egg Nog Advocaat - recipe in Festive Flavour

A lovely thick creamy sauce for icecream.

Thanks Fundj and JD.  I will definitely be trying the zabaglione, and the Bailey's one sounds just right as I have a bottle in the fridge just sitting there not being used (what was I thinking - clearly I wasn't).

'Tis also the season for Eggnog.  Having said all that, I used my egg yolks last night in scrambled eggs, so I will just have to make another pavlova to get some more .

That sounds very reasonable to me.
