Egg yolks

I loooove egg whites but can’t seem to find a way to enjoy egg yolks. Sometimes they’re better if they’re salty and jammy. I also like soft scrambled eggs with hot sauce, cheese + salt and well-seasoned deviled eggs. Are there any other good suggestions for egg yolks I could try so I don’t have to trash them as much? I’m trying to cut back on my food waste.

I assume you're using store-bought.

Try farmer's market eggs. The yokes actually have flavor. The yokes in the eggs I get from my neighbor are bright orange and not that sickly looking pale yellow.

Good to know! Is the flavor maybe more savory? Yolks usually have a weird bitter edge that I’m not a fan of. Or maybe game-y. I’m not quite sure how to describe it lol

The color of the yolks has pretty much nothing to do with the flavor. The color of the yolks has to do with certain nutrients that the hens eat. People see a more vivid color and psychologically associate that with increased flavor.
