Recipies that use a lot of egg whites?
I made a pie and have 8 left over egg whites. I don't want to waste them and a meringue only uses 3. Does anyone have any recipie that use 8? They can be doubled if necessary. Thank you.
Answers:
Chocolate Souffle
4 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
8 large egg whites
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
For Garnish:
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks, optional
Creme Anglaise, optional
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the inside of a 1 1/2-quart souffle mold with softened butter. Fill the mold with granulated sugar, then pour out the excess. If you have properly buttered the mold, the sugar will stick to the side and bottom of it. The butter and sugar keeps the souffle from sticking to the side of the mold and allows it to rise evenly. The sugar also gives the souffle a crunchy crust.
Place a double boiler 1/2 filled with water over high heat and bring to a boil. Place the chopped chocolate in the top of the double boiler and melt until quite hot. Stir occasionally.
Place the eggs, sugar and lemon in another double boiler placed over boiling water. Whisk the egg mixture until lukewarm. Remove the egg mixture from the heat and pour into the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip to stiff peaks. While the egg mixture is whipping, check the chocolate. It should be hot to the touch. Stop the mixer. Use a rubber spatula to fold the hot chocolate into the whipped egg whites.
Use a rubber spatula to gently place the souffle mixture in the buttered and sugared mold. Fill to about 1 inch above the rim of the mold. Place the souffle in the center of the oven and allow enough room for it to rise. If the souffle is too close to the top of the oven or under a rack, it will stick when it rises. If the souffle is too close to the bottom of the oven, the bottom of the souffle will burn before the inside is properly baked. Bake until the souffle has risen 1 1/2 times in height and starts to brown on top, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and dust the top with the powdered sugar. Serve immediately with a side of whipped cream or Creme Anglaise.
Note: This souffle can also be baked in buttered and sugared individual size molds. Use a pastry bag with a large opening (no tip) to pipe the souffle mixture into the molds about 1 inch above the rim. Bake until risen in height and lightly browned on top, 6 to 8 minutes.

Meringue Cookies:
3 large egg whites (3 ounces or 90 grams)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup (150 grams) superfine or caster sugar (if you don't have superfine sugar simply take granulated white sugar and process it for about 30 seconds in a food processor)
Garnish:
1/4 cup shaved Almonds
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (105 degrees C) and place the rack in the center of your oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You can form the cookies with a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) plain tip, or just use two spoons.
In the bowl of your electric mixer, with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on low-medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and continue to beat the whites until they hold soft peaks. Add the sugar, a little at a time, and continue to beat until the meringue holds very stiff peaks.
Note: The meringue is done when it holds stiff peaks and when you rub a little between your thumb and index finger it does not feel gritty. If it feels gritty the sugar has not fully dissolved so keep beating until it feels smooth between your fingers.
Before placing the cookies on the cookie sheet, place a little of the meringue on the underside of each corner of the parchment paper. This will prevent the paper from sliding. Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) tip. Pipe 2 1/2 inch (6 cm) rounds of meringue in rows on the prepared baking sheet. Alternatively, spoon mounds of meringue, using two spoons, onto the prepared sheets. Sprinkle with a few shaved almonds, if desired.
Bake the meringues for approximately 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours, rotating the baking sheet from front to back (about half way through) to ensure even baking. The meringues are done when they are pale in color and fairly crisp. Turn off the oven, open the door a crack, and leave the meringues in the oven to finish drying overnight.
Makes about 10 - 2 1/2 inch (6 cm) meringues

Meringue was the first thing that came to mind.
But instead of making a pie, like a lemon meringue, what if you make a bunch of meringue shells? Then you can even freeze them, I think, and serve them later (but not frozen) with ice cream in them. Have you had ice cream in a meringue shell? Quite good, and it would use up as many of your whites as you wanted to use up.
Make flavored meringue.
Lemon Meringue...add lemon zest and lemon flavoring
Orange Meringue..add orange zest and orange flavoring
....and so on
It...yummy...and .... youo can add food coloring and top pie's, cookies, tarts or just by itself with it.
maybe make an egg white omlette, and a quiche, and a pavlova.... do you have a dog? mine used to love the left over egg bits, white or yolk, over their bikkies
you could freeze them and when ready to use defrost in the fridge for about a day
