Ingredients

  • 2 slices large, thick slices deli bread (egg, french)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • - tabasco, or favorite hot sauce
  • - salt to taste
  • - fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

How To Make snooty cheese sandwich

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 450*. Toast the bread until it's golden brown. Remove immediately.
  • Step 2
    Place the toast in the bottom of an 8" baking dish, that has been prepared with food release spray.
  • Step 3
    Separate the eggs into two medium bowls: 4 egg whites in one bowl, 3 egg yolks in the other. (save the remaining yolk for another use, such as scrambled eggs or fried rice).
  • Step 4
    Beat the yolks. Stir in the mustard, salt and pepper, and hot sauce. Combine thoroughly. Set aside.
  • Step 5
    Add the cream of tartar to the egg whites. Whip the egg whites, with an electric mixer, until they form stiff peaks.
  • Step 6
    Stir a large spoonful of whipped egg white into the yolk mixture, stirring gently until well combined. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites, with a rubber scraper, to keep as much air/volume as possible in the mixture. (It's ready when there are no big clumps of egg white left.)
  • Step 7
    Carefully spoon the mixture over the toast in the baking pan. Bake at 450* for 10 minutes, or until browned and puffy. Serve immediately.
  • Step 8
    NOTE: This recipe is easy to double.
