The recipe turned out just wonderful. My husband loves it too. It was pretty easy, though I did not realize how many eggs it takes to get 1 cup of egg whites. It took me 8. I had to run out to the store while cooking to get more eggs. Well worth it in the end though.

This was very tasty. The lack of egg yolks made it nice and light. Since there was so much milk and eggs added, it easily filled me up as a breakfast.
