Here is the recipe - from this forum (found it by googling lol)

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 (or Sugar Twin) 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 carb per serving.


Now, it says cottage cheese, but that never works when I try it, so I use ricotta. The splenda makes them rather sweet, so I leave that out.

The only trick to these is to really whip those egg whites til they are very stiff peaks.

They are ok on induction, though the cheese has to be watched carefully. I like to take 2 rolls and make a fried egg / canadian bacon sandwich! Mmmmmm.
