Ingredients

6 egg whites
3/4 cup onion and garlic salad croutons
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/4 cups fat-free milk
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten

In a food processor, process croutons until ground. Sprinkle evenly onto the bottom and 1 in. up the sides of a greased 2-qt. baking dish; set aside.
In a large saucepan, saute the onion, red pepper and prosciutto in oil for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add spinach; cook just until wilted.

Transfer to a large bowl. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolk; return all to the bowl, stirring constantly. Cool slightly.
Add cream of tartar to egg whites; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into vegetable mixture. Transfer to prepared dish; sprinkle with cheese.
Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until top is puffed and center appears set. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.

Egg yolk is listed in the ingredients. Read down the list. Directions should have been a little clearer.

Egg yolks are mentioned in Step 4 but they are not in the ingredients list.

Good recipe. A little time consuming and needs more spice but it can take more veggies. I made individual souffles and the rose way over the top but settled down after sitting.

Very good despite a couple substitutions just because I used what was on hand. I put thin sliced cheddar/Parmesan on top which was quite tasty.
