Re: Uses for Egg Whites? (was OT :: personal care products)

[Guest guest]

Thanks Holly =) I actually did buy some Tom's toothpaste just the other day

because it occurred to me that my canker sores might be from the sodium laurel

sulfate in my toothpaste, and not a food reaction.

That stinks about the egg whites. Now I have yet ANOTHER use for egg yolks and

none for the whites. I try not to eat any honey, so sweet treats like macaroons

are out for using them up. Any other ideas? I've been having egg yolks in broth,

and also in hollandaise sauce, so I have A LOT of whites.

Thanks!

baking soda to wash and an ACV rinse. There's a lot of info online about this. I

How about coconut macaroons? There's a really delicious recipe on Elana's

Pantry that calls for six egg whites. Just sub the agave for honey.

They turned out really well. Can you handle coconut?

Liz posted this bread recipe a while back - doubled, it works perfectly with

hollandaise sauce.

Bread recipe:

4 egg whites

2 egg yolks

1/2 C almond or pecan flour

1 tsp honey

1 tsp butter

shake salt

Beat egg whites until they're a little stiffer than soft peaks. Beat egg yolks

with honey, butter and salt until it's all smooth. Sprinkle almond flour on egg

whites, pour yolk mixture over all and gently stir until it's well mixed, but

don't over stir.

Spread into a 12 " x 12 " square onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper -

about 1/3 " thick. (A cookie sheet with holes in it works the best.) Bake at

350 for 12 minutes. Slide bread, parchment paper and all, onto cooling rack

immediately. Cut with a pizza wheel or knife.

For the roast beef - I used a top round roast and baked it in the oven at 325.

(Consult your cook book for exact instructions.) I cooled it and then sliced it

deli thin with a meat slicer. For the " Au Jus " , I simply poured the pan

drippings through a strainer and rinsed the pan with filtered water and added

that. When I was ready to use it, I heated it in a sauce pan, added more water

and salt to taste and then served everyone a little dish of it to dip their

sandwiches in. We shared with the non-SCD people in our family and they all

loved it too, even the bread.

**************

I made it a little bit differently:

5 egg yolks

10 egg whites

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup coconut flour

2 teaspoon coconut oil (or butter)

salt to taste

pinch of baking soda.

---

for topping:

minced onions and a few clovers garlic

cracked pepper

a large bunch of sesame seeds (advanced - leave out if you have to)

olive oil, sufficient for cooking onion

_______

Line a cookie sheet - preferably with a little lip, but not

strictly necessary - with parchment paper. Set oven to

350.

Beat egg yolks until doubled. Very carefully remove it all

from your mix master bowl (or whatever) into a small bowl

and wash out mixing bowl and dry carefully. Beat egg whites until stiff,

then very slowly and using a different blade, add yolks back in.

When thoroughly mixed slowly, slowly begin to sift in flours. add

salt and a pinch of baking soda if desired. When thoroughly mixed

turn off mixer and begin to spread mixture, as thinly as you can, on

parchment paper covered cookie sheet. And then

sprinkle as many sesame seeds as you like, all over the bread

(I love sesame seeds, so I went a little crazy).

while that is in the oven, sautee up the onion, and when

it is already softened, add in the garlic (to taste). Let that

cook well, lightly brown. Turn off heat.

When bread is about 13 minutes cooked and the top is firm-ish,

add the onion-garlic mixture everywhere you can. Return to oven and

continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes. Check consistency,

and keep on checking consistency every several minutes until you

get the bread as moist or dry as you like a flat bread. If so desired, you can

at that

point continue on a low setting and dehydrate for several hours, or

take it out, place on a rack to cool and eat as is.

I invented a delicious sandwich today.

I made my version of the souffle bread that I posted the other day.

Toasted it until it was a bit dry. Then topped it with wild flounder

baked with a dill, lemon, almond meal, garlic, lemon, olive oil coating,

then topped that with room temperature hollandaise sauce.

OMG, yum.

Thanks Alyssa for reminding me how much I like hollandaise sauce.

I can see I'm going to be making a bunch of it for a while.

I tried making hollandaise sauce yesterday, and again today, and BOTH TIMES failed miserably. It turned into gross egg yolk bits floating in a sea of butter. Eeew.

No wonder it got whacked! Surprisingly it turned out great the first time I made it like this though. Must've been my miracle hollandaise batch =) Thanks for the recipe!
