Egg White Recipes

We’ve all been there, a recipe calls for 4 egg yolks and now you’ve got 4 egg whites. If you’re like me, you always have egg whites in your fridge. But never fear, I’ve got 50+ delicious ways to use up egg whites from simple to absolutely delicious. I’ve got recipes that use 1 egg white to ones that use up 12. I’ve also got sweet and savoury egg white recipe options for you too! Save this handy post for when you have too many egg whites.

How to Store Egg Whites

Egg whites can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. I mark the weight and date of the whites and then freeze them.

How Much Does An Egg White Weigh?

They vary depending on the egg size but an average egg white weighs 30g or 1oz!

Sweet Recipes Using Egg Whites

Pavlova: Pavlova is the go to recipe if you have a lot of egg whites. You can make a beautiful pavlova with just 4 egg whites, some sugar and my tips for pavlova making (I’ve been making pavlova since I was a kid!).

Meringues: If you only have 1 or 2 egg whites then making meringues is a great idea. They’re a bit easier to make than pavlova as they dry out completely and they last 2-3 weeks once baked. They make a really lovely gift and freeze well too!

Marshmallows: There’s nothing as delicious as a fresh marshmallow and they’re easier to make than you think!

Marshmallow Cookies and Cakes: One of my favourite ways to use home made marshmallow is in biscuits or cookies. These may ruin you for shop bought mallow cookies though. And if you love Wagon Wheels you can make a giant cake version!
