beaten yolk
Whisked egg center
Beaten yolk is the yellow part of an egg that has been whipped or stirred vigorously, typically until smooth and slightly frothy.
Recipes call for beaten yolk when they need the fat and emulsifying properties of yolk without the white: Add the beaten yolk slowly to temper the sauce.
The beating incorporates air and ensures even distribution when mixed into other ingredients.
