Fluffy Breakfast Casserole - 4g

Most breakfast casseroles begin with a bread base to keep it fluffy.  I combined what I've learned about baking with stiff egg whites (thanks to the 'Best Bread Ever' recipe), and mixed it with some other typical breakfast ingredients to make a casserole that was just as delicious!

This was consumed so fast, I wasn't able to take a picture of it...

Ingredients:
5 eggs (separated)
1/4 tsp cream tartar
1 15 oz container of Ricotta cheese
2/3 onion, chopped
1 container of sausage
2 green onions
1 1/2 C mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Brown sausage and onion. Chop up the green onions and mix with the sausage and onion and place in a 9x13 baking dish. Top with mozzarella cheese.

Combine egg whites and cream of tartar, and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes - don't need them to be too stiff, but enough so that your peaks flop over a little when you take out the beaters.

Mix the egg yolks and ricotta cheese in another bowl, and then scrape into the bowl with the egg whites.  Mix together well, and add to the 9x13 baking dish. Combine all ingredients in the baking pan, distributing the egg mixture well, and bake for 30 minutes.
