Frozen Eggs and Oopsies

Ah, the great experiment begins...to see if I am up to the task of creating fluffy, stiff, fabulous foam from frozen egg whites. Yes, the eggs were too far back in the fridge. :-)

I will let you know.

Okay, it works. I even could not find my cream of tartar...until about two seconds AFTER I beat the egg whites. I used 9 eggs (3 of which were frozen...and yes, I let them thaw first), 1/2t xanthan gum, 2T-ish of vital wheat gluten, pinch of salt, a few drops of stevia, 9oz cream cheese. They turned out just like they always do. So...now we know. LOL!

Good to know - I've always read you can freeze the whites and yolks separately - nice that they still "work right" when defrosted!

Thanks for being the guinea pig on that one!
