    I actually looked this up last night! You can freeze them separately and then use them later for pastry (or other desserts) and also for sauces like hollandaise. However, you can also use them as a conditioning mask for your hair which is what I plan to do with mine! :)

    Eat them! The calories are low and the nutrition is high. Studyies have shown that the cholesterol in eggs do not have the affect on the body as it was once thought to be.

    For about 2 days I tried doing just egg whites, but I hated wasting the yolks so I posted a similar question. Most people just said to eat them anyway unless you actually have a cholesterol problem.

    This! I seriously don't understand why people eat just the egg whtes and waste the yolks - it is sheer wastage! A quick google found dozens of sites with excellent suggestions of what to do.

    But if you're saving them to put in recipes later... why not just eat them in the first place?

    I felt the same way you did , so I buy egg whites in the carton so much easier in the morning . First I cook mix veggies then just pour the egg whites over it .this makes a great omelet.

    Ladies, this may be bad for your diet, but since you mentioned egg yolks.... This is the Filipino wonder that is LECHE FLAN.

    Another vote for eating them, the cholesterol in eggs has been found not to affect your levels of bad cholesterol.

    Other than omelettes, I ONLY eat the yolk, whites only would be my nightmare!!

    If you're going to use them later anyway then freeze away. I freeze egg whites and yolks depending on what I'm baking and it calls for one or the other.
    I put them in ice cube trays and then put those in freezer bags.

    Use them as hair conditioner. I've done that in the past LOL. Just make sure not to use hot water while showering unless you are into hairy omelets :p

    This is totally random, but you can make paint with egg yolks.
    I haven't done it myself, but I remember my art major college buddies made egg tempera paint with egg yolks and pigment with a mortar and pestle, etc.
    I was thinking that if you live near a college with an art program, they might take them.
    I might be wrong, but another idea is to see if some energetic DIY elementary school teachers would be up for taking the yolks.

    Full Disclosure: I eat the yolks myself, but that's because I have a rather severe Vitamin D deficiency.

    Eat them! They are a great source of protein.
