Whisk unused egg yolks with a pinch of salt or sugar and store in labelled bags in the freezer to use in other (savoury or sweet) dishes. If you have large root vegetables such as swedes and turnips, halve or quarter them so they cook in time.
Make the labneh and pesto, and bake the vegetables up to 24 hours in advance. Cover and chill.
