How to Store Leftover Egg Whites
Egg whites will keep in the fridge for up to two days, however they can be frozen for up to 12 months! For easy freezing (and use later), freeze egg whites in an ice cube tray and you can use them as needed. Just thaw in the refrigerator overnight, or leave on the counter for 30 minutes if you need room temperature egg whites for your recipe.
Recipes Using Egg Whites
Recipes using egg whites are light and fluffy. Egg whites help to add structure, aeration, and leavening to desserts. They also don't have much flavor, so they're a bit of a blank canvas for you to work with. I've gathered here a list of all my egg white dessert recipes. There are lots of meringues, angel food cakes, and more! I've organized the recipes by the number of egg whites used (2-12!), so you can easily find a recipe that works for the number of whites you have on-hand!
