Separate The Eggs

Pre-heat your oven to 300°F.

We'll be using the yolks of 8 extra large eggs for this recipe. To separate an egg, crack the egg and pull the shell apart into two equal-sized halves. Then, with a clean bowl underneath, simply shift the yolk back and forth from one half of the shell to the other, letting the whites fall into the bowl below. Collect the yolks in a large mixing bowl.

Save the egg whites to make a high-protein, low-fat omelet, a meringue or, for the stout of heart, a soufflé.

Here's a complete tutorial on how to separate an egg.
