Souffle Bread (low carb; grain free,lots of eggs :)

[calamtykel]

This is a fun but strange recipe for using up extra eggs. We are on a grain free diet, so it works well for us.
9 egg whites
pinch salt
6 egg yolks
2/3 cup farmer's cheese, cream cheese or cottage cheese (full fat okay)
2TBS water (I eliminated this since I used cottage cheese)
heat oven 300
Beat the egg whites and salt until firm peaks appear - like meringue.
In a food processor blend the remaining ingredients until well blended (did mine with a stick blender)
gently fold the mixture into the egg whites until they are evenly combined
Line a large cookie sheet 14 X20 with parchment paper
Bake 30 minutes
Remove from oven; while still warm lift the bread by holding two corners of the parchment and invert onto a cookie sheet. Remove parchment paper and bake an extra 10 minutes.
Move from oven; let cool and cut into squares.

The most challenging part for me was inverting the "bread". It didn't seem "done" enough and was quite soft in the middle, which didn't help. Hopefully I'll get better at it.
In my grain free diet book it says 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of honey may be added to the egg mixture before blending and it can be used for French toast.

I ended up letting it cool, putting parmesan cheese on it and putting it under the broiler for parmesan "bread". It says you can make grilled cheese sandwiches, etc., with it - I have not tried any of that; only made it once.
It wasn't "bread" -- it was sorta spongy and strange - but it was a variation and was interesting to say the least!

Since you are on a grain free diet I just thought you might enjoy the http://lowcarbfriends.com/ forum if you aren't already a member. Not everyone follows grain free but they do various low carb.

Good luck on your diet. My SIL has Crohn's disease and they do a grain free diet. He has been able to control the disease with this diet and is off of all his meds.
