Low carb "rolls"

[Bjornsyouruncle 0]

I was given this recipe ages ago when I was seriously low carbing and the resulting roll is like a slightly eggy substantial meringue. It is great for sandwiches and I love it with chicken salad. It is an updated version of a recipe in the first Atkins diet revolution book. Anyway, I googled it and found the same recipe online:

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs, separated
  
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  
• 3 Tablespoons cottage cheese (or 3 1/2 tbsp ricotta)
  
• 2 packets Splenda
  

Preheat oven to 300°F.

Separate eggs very carefully (make sure NONE of the yolk gets into the white.) Spray PAM on a Teflon cookie sheet. Use an electric beater to beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (but not dry).

Mix egg yolks, cottage cheese and Splenda in separate bowl. Fold yolk-mixture carefully into egg whites being sure not to break down fragile whites — mix no longer than 1 minute.

Place the mixture carefully on the cookie sheet, gently putting one tablespoon on top of another until it is two (2) inches in height. Repeat until you have 6 little "pillows." Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 35-55 minutes (depending on your firmness preference.)

Makes 6 rolls. 1 net gram of carbohydrate per serving.

Wow, and to think I've been just rolling my chicken or tuna salad in a romaine lettuce leaf.

Thanks!
