What to do with egg yolks?

Hey, I hear so many people on here saying to eat the egg whites and not the yolks e.g omelette with 3 egg whites & 1 yolk
But what do you do with the other yolks? Throw them away? Seems a little wasteful to me...

    I often make homemade holindase and do a frittata...that I put the sauce on. Or buy the egg beaters

    Hi

    I eat two boiled whole eggs fro breakfast every day after my daily workout.

    Rest day, only two boiled eggs whites. I do nothing with the yolks. Just get rid of them.

    Good luck in your journey

    Personally, I eat them. They are the best part IMHO.

    Unless a recipe calls for just yokes or just egg whites, eat the whole thing. IF, for whatever reason, you want to cut out the yokes, then I would suggest buying an egg white only mixture...but I'm going to stick to the whole eggs myself.

    I eat the yolk but usually just have 1 or 2 at a time and add liquid egg whites if making an omelet so I don't have to throw away yolks...I really really hate wasting food!

    We buy egg whites in a carton to supplement the whole eggs we use. Rather than separating an actual egg. So I guess you could say we toss them out if you want but I hope that the company uses them in animal feed or something.

    I use free-range natural duck eggs, from our ducks. Believe me, nobody would throw away the yolk from a duck egg. OMG...tasty.

    I put them in my hair. Not joking. I bust the yolk, spread on my dry hair, wait about twenty minutes then jump in the shower and wash like normal. AMAZING!

    I eat the whole eggs now. I would just throw away the yolks or save them for aioli.

    THIS^

    Stop the "fat/cholesterol (from natural sources) is bad" nonsense. It's WRONG. Since everyone stopped eating egg yolks, animal fat, coconut oil etc and switched to canola and soy oil has health improved? I think not.
