While in Mississippi this past weekend, we ventured down to French Camp for lunch at the wonderful Council House Cafe. Of course, I wandered through the gift shop, which sells local crafts. I picked up a new local cookbook there, and tried this recipe this morning. I've never seen one quite like it. The dish is currently cooking, and I will post a review later today.
Puffed Egg Surprise
6 eggs, separated
Cheese, of your choosing
Softened butter
Salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Beat egg yolks at high speed until thick & smooth. Add desired salt & pepper. Mix well. Using clean beaters, whip egg whites in a separate bowl until thick and puffy, but not stiff. Fold yolks & whites carefully together until just uniform in color. Coat bottom and sides of a 10-inch ovenproof skillet with butter. Pour half of egg mixture into skillet. Place cheese on top of egg mixture. Piece together to completely cover egg mixture. Pour remaining egg mixture over cheese to completely cover the cheese. Bake uncovered on center rack for 30 minutes or until medium brown on top and puffy. Do not open over door until near end of cooking. Remove and allow to cool for a few minutes. Cut into wedges.
