 Jill (Georgia) says:
I have not tried this, but I would love too. But I am worried about the uncooked egg whites (the yolks are cooked). Does anyone know if I could add something like cool whip instead? That would be fluffy like egg whites, but safe (but of course would not taste the same). Anyone know if this would work?

If you're concerned about uncooked eggs, just use pasteurized egg whites from the supermarket. They sell them in a carton.
