Author's Notes

Don't toss those egg whites! Leftover egg whites should be put in airtight containers and stored in the refrigerator immediately. They will last for 2 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer and can be used in meringues, egg white omelets, face masks, candied nuts, and even granola!
