If I beat an egg and dip a fish fillet in it, can I refrigerate the egg and use it safely the next day for another fish fillet?

In your case I would just make scrambled egg the next day. It only touched bread and just put it between 2 slices of the bread you brushed it with! LOLHey, than you for asking this, Laury!
I was wondering this a few days ago when I brushed a loaf of French bread with an eggwash. Eggs are not something I'm in short supply of, but it seemed like such a waste to dump the eggwash when the only thing that touched it was a small whisk and a silicon brush.
Does anyone know how long it would keep? A week? (I'm hoping)

OH my egg wash is whole egg. Did you say whites only? Sorry. BTW I have had yolks left from recipes that only needed whites. I just put extra yolk in my next scrambled eggs. Never come across a double yolker when making scrambled? I got one just the other day. I was making scrambled by family request otherwise those would have been MY over easy!! I LOVE yolks!! If I could figure out how to just fry yolks to dip my rye toast in I would be in heaven!! LOLI gotta have yellow in my scrambled eggs
It was egg white and a TBS of water. One of my dogs got the yolk![]()
DON'T put raw egg down the drain. Some will settle in the elbow trap and the next hot water will cook it and clog the pipe. It happened to my mom. Wipe out the bowl with a paper towel into the garbage bag.I'm glad to see this come up, too. Thanks, Laury!
I had the same Q, just two days ago, after french toast, too, wouldn't you know, pacanis! And, I do like panko breaded proteins. In the past, I had almost always chucked the egg down the drain, better safe than sorry, but now I will start to refrigerate it for a day or two just in case.
You're welcome!a BIG thank you, mofet! no more eggs down the sink drain for me.
That's good info to have but it won't affect me here for two reasons:DON'T put raw egg down the drain. Some will settle in the elbow trap and the next hot water will cook it and clog the pipe. It happened to my mom. Wipe out the bowl with a paper towel into the garbage bag.
It doesn't take much heat to cook an egg. And BTW thats what my mom did. Well actually she made breaded cutlets and pasta. The pasta water cooked the egg in the drain.And then, I might've followed with a pour of boiling water down the drain mistakenly thinking that the dissolving heat would help clear the pipe...
