By substituting scrambled egg whites for half the noodles in this mac and cheese recipe, we drastically cut the carbs<\/a> and boost the protein count<\/a>. The firm eggs feel and taste just like al dente pasta and the cheesy sauce really only has about one ounce of cheese \u2014 the creaminess comes from egg yolks<\/a>. We love having a heaping scoop for breakfast<\/a> with a little turkey bacon crumbled on top. It gives a whole new meaning to bacon and eggs<\/a>!<\/p>\n
