German Pancakes

8 eggs
10 egg whites
2 cups flour
2 tsp. salt
2 cups milk
1/4 cup melted butter

Melt butter and pour into a 9x13" pan. Spray the rest of the pan and sides with Pam.
Place all other ingredients in a bowl and mix with an immersion blender until smooth.
Bake at 425 degrees for 26-28 minutes.

I used to use 12 eggs. Why 18? Not sure, it must be because I had so many eggs, I was trying to use them up. This will be very high and poofy. My only problem is the last two times I've made them, the tops have actually touched my oven coils. My kids love to eat German pancakes. Talking to a cousin, she told me in Germany they use lemon juice.

Lower fat version
8 eggs
10 egg whites
2 cups flour
2 tsp. salt
2 cups milk
no butter

This was a bit more springy but I couldn't tell a difference taste wise.  Still good and without the butter.

Lowfat Quiche

1 uncooked pie crust
(see blog if you need a recipe for pie crust)

3/4 cup milk
3 eggs
1 egg white
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1 heaping cup cheese (pepperjack or cheddar)
1 pkg. knox gelatin
1/2 cup diced spinach (optional)

With an immersion blender, beat eggs and milk until frothy.
Stir in cottage cheese and 1 cup pepper jack cheese
Sprinkle diced spinach on bottom of crust, then egg mixture,
Sprinkle the top with salt, pepper and a little chilli powder.
Bake at 375 for 45-50 minutes, until middle is set.

  I added jalapenos and some diced red pepper  to bump the heat up a bit more.

I also like to add a bit of cheddar cheese as I feel it browns so nicely. So add some to your one cup of pepper jack. I know a decent cook would not put a package of gelatin in there, but when I tried it without it didn't hold up as well.  By eliminating the yolk and taking out some of the fat, it needed something to firm it up.
