Egg Whites - what to do with them?

[Shadow]

Having created a delicious summer menu last weekend*, we are left with half a dozen egg whites. What do folk on here use them for?
Excluding meringues!!! (a total waste of time, sugar and energy altho I appreciate some enjoy their overly sweet lightness!)


*salmon and avocado terrine
baked chicken, olives and tomatoes
key lime pie,
all washed down with 3 appropriate wines!

Unfortunately (for me who doesn't really like sweet things) most uses are sweet recipes. But one thing I had bookmarked for the current CookingBites Cookalong: Soufflés and Fondants was this - an egg white soufflé. I haven't yet tried it - but I'm pretty sure it would work and you can, of course, vary the ingredients and also join in the Cookalong!

You can also make a savoury quiche using just egg whites instead of whole eggs in the custard.

you can freeze them. Egg white omelette seems to be a thing with "healthy" crowd.

Angel food cake? Coconut macaroons? Use as a binder to hold food together such as bean burger or for you meat eaters salmon patties or meat loaf?

I know you wrote other than meringue, but you could make Italian or Swiss buttercream. They aren't nearly as sweet as just plain meringue, especially the Swiss.

Thanks for the suggestions, will give some a try.

Soufflés is the second obvious choice and often tend to disregard them. Like the idea of tomato, spinach and feta.
Did not know quiche could be made with whites only and did not know they could be frozen - what a knowledgeable lot exist here!
