Notes
I like the flavor the oranges and
or crush give to this dish. Adding bacon
to anything will make it taste good, this is a prime example. I bet king tuts
petrified fecal matter would taste good wrapped in bacon. It’s a one item meal, no bacon on the side,
and it packs a punch that your hibernating and
awakening taste buds will take notice of.
For whipping the eggs whites use a kitchen aid stand mixer, and make
sure the bowl is clean of excess grease, shells, or yolks. I made this for staff meal and made believers
out of them that my cooking doesn’t suck.
Thanks to Kate for the help with this recipe.
