This was posted by "BigLoser" on the Alabama Board. I have not tried them yet, but plan to very soon. ENJOY!! RECIPE: Three Whole Eggs, CAREFULLY SEPARATED (whites apart from yolks) 3 Tablespoons Whole-Fat Cottage Cheese 1/4 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar 1 Packet of Sweet-n-low Sweetener (pink packet) You separate the whites and the yolks of 3 eggs CAREFULLY (I put the whites in one mixing bowl, and the yolks in another) - the key is DON'T GET ANY OF THE YOLKS INTO THE WHITES. Add 1/4 teaspoon of Cream of Tartar to the whites and beat the whites on high speed until they are fluffy and form nice peaks. In the other bowl, smoothly mix together the egg yolks, the 3 TBSP of Cottage Cheese and the one packet of Sweet-n-low until smooth. Now, CAREFULLY fold this mixture into the egg whites until when mixed, but try and not break down the fluffiness of the egg whites too much. Now, spray two cookie sheets with Pam or other fat-free cooking spray. Now, with a large spoon, "scoop" the mixture into 10 even rounds on the sheets. A good rule of thumb when doing this, is to "envision" how the top-half of the McDonalds Happy Meal hamburger bun looks - you know, around 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across. You get the idea Now, drop them in to a 300-degree oven, on the middle rack. Here is when you have to watch them, because I have NEVER seen the cooking time the same on any two batches. It is somewhere around 1/2 hour, but it could be less or more. You just need to watch them until them become nice and golden brown, the COLOR of a McDonalds Hamburger bun - you know, that dark brown-tan color? Remove from the pans and cool on a rack or cutting board. Now, you will notice that these are crumbly and kind of stiff like cooked meringue - but don't let this fool you! ONCE THEY ARE TOTALLY COOL, seal them up into a ziplock storage baggie OVER NIGHT. They will totally change their consistency, to something much more like bread - a softer texture that is nice and chewy. Now, since the sides that were facing the pan are perfectly flat, you use these to spread things on, or make sandwiches, or even as a burger bun! The choice is up to you, and you will be quite amazed at how much like a bun these really are! HERE IS THE NUTRITION FOR THE *WHOLE* BATCH OF 10 - of course, you just eat how ever many you want, and then divide-up the nutrition: WHOLE BATCH Calories: 230 Total Fat: 15 g Total Carbs: 1.5 g Protein: 18 g WHAT A FANTASTIC ALTERNATIVE TO BREAD AND A GREAT BOOST TO PROTEIN! YAYYYY!!
