[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just let it go and toss them. Eggs are cheap unless you've been fooled into buying those ridiculously expensive eggs at Whole Foods. If that's the case, buy cheaper eggs and toss the hard boiled yolks.[/quote]

The cage free / organic eggs do tend to taste better. I got regular Giant eggs once (ok, DH bought them) and they were watery and bland. Gross stringy bits when eggs were scrambled, kind of like the texture of the chicken veins you find when eating wings. [/quote]

Can some people really not taste the difference? Or not care how the chickens live?[/quote]

OP here ... I usually buy my eggs from a farmers market, around $4/dozen.  Still pretty inexpensive as far as protein goes, and I can definitely taste the difference. The yolk is bigger, darker yellow, richer. The white is thicker, sturdier.  It all has more flavor. I'll never go back to the really cheap eggs. Just isn't worth the lower quality to save a dollar or two per week.

I am currently throwing most of the hard boiled yolks away, but was looking for some alternatives to avoid wasting them.  Not a huge deal, but there are some great ideas here, so I thank everyone who offered suggestions.[/quote]

I suggested some stuff, but assuming you eat hard-boiled/deviled eggs, just make more yolk for you. Is he eating them just plain hard boiled? If they're even lightly overcooked with that ghastly green edge, they're disgusting. Will he eat deviled eggs and the yolk? You probably already said, sorry.[/quote]

He eats them plain. I can generally avoid the green edge, I like them a little on the softer side anyway. I don't like it when they get dry and chalky.

He won't eat deviled yolks, but I love deviled eggs. I will sometimes make a bunch of eggs, mash all the yolks into deviled filling, but only stuff half the egg whites. He gets the plain egg whites, the rest of us get deviled eggs with twice the normal filling.  I'm just not in the mood for deviled eggs as frequently as he wants eggs, though, lol.[/quote]
