What are some good recipes using left over egg yolks from another recipe?
Many recipes call for egg whites, but then I have egg yolks sitting in the fridge going to waste. Just looking for some recipes that make good use of the yolks.

You can preserve lemon curd by canning it, but only if you use bottled lemon juice due to unpredictable acidity levels (http://nchfp.uga.edu/papers/2006/06ift-lemoncurd.html).
You can also freeze egg yolks if you mix a teaspoon of sugar into each yolk to keep the ice crystals from getting too big.

On Food52 there is the very popular Lazy Mary's Lemon Tart, I like any lemon tart. A press in shortbread crust will make it easy but you can use a sweet pie crust.

And I've made the Alice Medrich lemon squares posted here - truly the best:
