What do you guys do with your egg whites?

[u/ImaginationHeavy6191]

After you make challah, what do you do with the leftover egg whites? I want to start making my own but I can’t think of what to do with the egg whites and it would seem so wasteful to throw them away.

[u/Hattori69]

Meringue?  Apparently used for Passover 

[u/double-dog-doctor → u/Hattori69]

My family always makes a pavlova for Passover. It's the best! 

[u/Hattori69 → u/double-dog-doctor]

Cool dessert! 

[u/BecauseImBatmom]

I used to fry it for our dog. She was such a good girl.

[u/koshercupcake → u/BecauseImBatmom]

I read this as, “I used it to fry our dog.”

🤣

[u/bjeebus → u/koshercupcake]

I also had trouble parsing it as anything other than them frying up the poor pupper.

[u/GonzoTheGreat93]

I use the whole egg for my challah so I don’t have leftovers.

[u/NonaNoname → u/GonzoTheGreat93]

Same, or I save the whites for glazing

[u/Buffetline]

With how expensive eggs are right now, scramble them and make an egg sandwich on the challah that you’re baking

[u/MeetPerfect7149]

You can use it to make coconut macaroons

[u/hbomberman]

Do you like cocktails? There's a few that use egg whites. A "white lady" uses gin, orange liqueur, lemon juice, and a raw egg white. It makes this nice, light foam that feels cool to drink and it makes you look fancy.

Or make an egg white omelette.

You can save the egg white in the fridge for a few days (up to 4 according to Google). So no pressure to use it right that moment. You can have a nice cocktail on Shabbat or add it into your omelette on Sunday morning.

[u/DubiouslyRussian]

I like making mayo with only egg whites - you just need lemon and oil (and seasoning). https://www.seriouseats.com/leftover-egg-white-mayonnaise-recipe

[u/Hattori69 → u/DubiouslyRussian]

And a blender, the only mayonnaise I make by hand is done so with the yolk. 

[u/StillMands80]

I cook them up for my dogs.

[u/pdx_mom → u/StillMands80]

I just give them to the dogs without cooking. They don't seem to care.

[u/Hattori69 → u/pdx_mom]

It can tamper with nutriente absorption so it's better to cook it.  At least with puppies that could be the case. 

[u/Fantastic_Witness_71 → u/pdx_mom]

Can be super bad for them, you should always cook egg whites but they can have raw yolk

[u/Gideon-Mack]

Loads of things, keep them in the freezer until you have enough for one of these recipes; https://www.seriouseats.com/what-to-do-with-leftover-egg-whites

[u/Hattori69 → u/Gideon-Mack]

I notice you can dry it in the refrigerator so you could add it later to something else. It's like using the egg shells in soup, they clarify broths! 

[u/Agitated-Quit-6148]

Meringue cookies all the time. I don't like them ultra sweet so I do 8 egg whites to 1 cup sugar. 3 hrs at 220.

[u/Interesting_Dot9525]

Use it in a diy facemask

[u/Quiet_Mail9207]

Egg white scramble 🤷🏼‍♂️ with cheese maybe some veggies—if not using for a day or two i save in a very small storage container

[u/Blaziken4vr]

My family would always make meringues during Pesach, but you can make them during the rest of the year as well.

[u/fezfrascati]

[u/Starlite_Rose]

Fry them. I used eat around egg yolks when mom would fry them. You could scramble them too.

[u/larfoxman]

Never separated my eggs for my Challahs. Comes out light, fluffy and delicious. Never lasts the night. So good.

[u/Gratuity04]

I fry them up and eat them, yum yum

[u/IbnEzra613]

When I make a recipe that requires just a yolk, I sometimes fry up the egg white. Or sometimes you can just use the whole egg anyway in the recipe.

[u/quartsune]

Egg white is supposed to be good for your hair, I think. And if memory serves, it was at one point used in making paint.

For more everyday solutions, you might consider glazing the top of the challah (if you're not already), DIY egg drop soup, macarons, marshmallows...

[u/Hattori69 → u/quartsune]

Yolk to clean it, albumen to condition it. 

[u/Classifiedgarlic]

I cook them for my lunch after making challah

[u/ArielMankowski]

You can freeze them for up to one year. Many directions online.

[u/Jewish-Mom-123]

My recipe uses two whole eggs, one yolk, and the extra white for the egg wash.

[u/Ms-100-percent]

I make challah without egg yolks. I simply use whole eggs. Four for the challah and one for brushing mixed with water. Works perfect and wastes less.

[u/hexKrona]

Make more challah!

[u/Mysterious_Green_544]

Ale an omelette for yourself for lunch and add the egg whites to it

[u/One-Progress999]

Great protein and macros on egg whites. Very healthy!

[u/Hartsnkises]

Microwave. It's my Friday treat

[u/feinshmeker]

I use whole eggs.

[u/Firm-Interaction-653]

My recipe only uses eggs in the finish and I just use 1 whole egg

[u/president_hippo]

My mother fills up a container in the freezer, which is the exact right size to then be thawed and made into an angel food cake
