Batter Preparation

- Whip egg whites using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- In a different bowl combine egg yolks, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, bacon crumbles, sliced green onions, and salt and pepper.
- Fold in 1/3 of the egg whites into the yolk mixture, mix thoroughly. Add additional egg whites 1/3 at a time until fully incorporated. Be gentle with folding.
- Heat ebelskiver pan on medium heat.
Cooking Ebelskivers
- Spray headed ebelskiver pan with non-stick spray.
- Fill each space about 3/4 and allow to cook until it begins to be firm.
- Using a pointed object (knitting needle, pointed chopstick, large toothpick...) loosen egg bite from the edge and flip it over.
- Allow all egg bites to cook until golden brown.
- Remove egg bites from heat and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Continue to make egg bites until all of the batter is used up. Serve hot.
Notes
*If you opt to not use a non-stick spray, you can use butter or another type of oil. You could saturate a paper towel to wipe around the whole pan between batches.
