Sweet Potato Souffle and Peas

I had 6 egg whites left over from making cat food so I thought it would be a good time to make a souffle!
Souffles are pretty easy, just don't open the oven door until the end!
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Start by peeling, chopping and steaming 2 sweet potatoes.





Chop 1/2 an onion and 3 garlic cloves,


saute the onions until translucent and add garlic for 30 seconds.



Add these to a large mixing bowl with 1/2 flour and 1 cup skim milk. Whisk together.

When the sweet potatoes are super tender add them to the mixing bowl and mix all of the ingredients together until pretty smooth.



While the sweet potatoes are steaming beat your egg whites.


This calls for 6 egg whites so it took a little while to get them to firm peaks.


Gently fold 1/3 of the egg white mixture into the sweet potato mixture.


Once it is combined add the rest of the egg white and continue folding in until combined.



Add this mixture to a well buttered baking dish.

Bake with no lid for 35-40 minutes - do not open the oven door!

Enjoy with a side of vegetables - we had steamed peas.
