Ingredients
- 3 eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons cottage cheese or 3 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Separate the eggs very carefully, there must be no yolk in the white.
In one bowl, mix together the egg yolks, the 3 T. of Cottage Cheese
OR Cream Cheese until smooth.
In the other bowl 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.
Very carefully fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites until
mixed, but try and not break down the fluffiness of the egg whites too
much.
Spray two cookie sheets with Pam or other fat-free cooking spray.
With a large spoon, “scoop” the mixture into 10 even rounds on the
sheets (about the size of the top-half of the McDonalds hamburger bun;
roughly 3/4 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches across).
Bake on the middle rack. Here is when you have to watch them,
because 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 (again, the color of a
McDonalds bun).
Remove from the pans and cool on a rack or cutting board.
While warm they are crumbly and similar to cooked meringue – but
don’t let this fool you! Once completely cool, seal them in a ziplock
storage baggie or a tupperware over night. They will totally change
their consistency, to something much more like bread – a softer texture
that is nice and chewy. If you do not like softer chewy bread, then eat
them as they are, nice and crisp.
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!
