Easy Recipes Tips
How to separate egg whites from yolk:
Get two containers at the ready - we use two coffee cups. Have them sitting side by side.
Crack
an egg in half gently and immediately hold it
UPRIGHT with the round side of the egg pointing down. You can remove the
pointy end of the egg.
Allow the whites to run free into the cup. The yolk will sit in the half of the shell.
When the egg white has run out, tip the yolk into the other cup.
Repeat for the second egg.
Save the yolks to add to an omelet.
