Light Pecan Pie WW

Submitted by Marg (CaymanDesigns)

"A fantastic lighter version of the family favorite for half the Points Plus! I had a little trouble layering my phyllo dough they way they described because mine was rectangles, not squares. I also used 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg, just make sure the filling would be 'thick'."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 8 sheets phyllo dough
• cooking spray
• 3⁄4 cup halves unsalted pecan halves, chopped
• 4 large eggs, white(s) lightly beaten
• 1⁄3 cup light corn syrup
• 2⁄3 cup unpacked brown sugar, firmly packed
• 6 tablespoons light butter, melted

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch round baking pan with cooking spray.
2. Cut phyllo sheets in half diagonally to form 2 equal-size triangles. Place 1 sheet in prepared pan, lightly coat with cooking spray, and top with another sheet of phyllo, placing corners just to the right of previous corners. Repeat with remaining sheets, so you're covering the pan with a fan of phyllo. Bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
3. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Combine remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; pour into crust. Bake, uncovered, about 35 minutes or until firm. Cover halfway through baking process if crust becomes too brown. Cool in pan.

Is this recipe calling for egg whites only? the way it reads, it could mean use yolks and eggs, but beat the whites separately.
