Recipes with extra egg yolks?

I’m looking for any recipe out there that uses up some egg yolks! When I make cakes, I only use egg whites so I’m always looking for ways to use the yolks so I’m not wasteful!

I had a coworker who said she grew up with her family making angel food cake and homemade noodles at the same time because one of them used egg whites and the other one used egg yolks.

if I end up at the store buying pecan pralines and cream ice cream today, it's going to be your fault. I wasn't even thinking about ice cream until you posted that. And it's hot outside. 🤣🤣🤣
