If you have spare egg yolks left after making a dish that only required the whites, it is possible to keep them a little longer while you work out what dish to use the yolks in. Here are some suggestions for storing egg yolks safely.
Freezing the Yolks
Pour each yolk into a separate compartment of a large ice cube tray or freeze together in a small container with a lid.
Cover the ice cube tray with a freezer bag.
Place in the freezer. Use within the month.
Refrigerating the Yolks
Put the egg yolks into a small container.
Cover the yolks with either water or a small amount of melted butter.
Put a lid on the container and place the container in the refrigerator. Stored in this way, the egg yolks will keep for up to 5 days, refrigerated. Drain the water before using the egg yolks in your recipe.
