You can buy egg whites in containers. I measured one extra large egg white to be about 1 ounce/1/8 of a cup.

Easy to make and tasty, too! Calories, fat and cholesterol were reduced by:

Using egg whites instead of a whole egg
Using fat-free cottage cheese
Using no-stick spray instead of oil for cooking the burgers

Calories Before..286..after..208

2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
1 envelope INSTANT onion soup dip mix
1 cup rolled oats

In a medium bowl, stir together the egg whites, cottage cheese and soup mix until well combined. then stir in the oats.

Using about 1/3 cup of mixture for each burger, shape the mixture into six 1 inch thick patties. Spray an unheated griddle or large skillet with no-stick spray. Heat the griddle or skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Makes 6 patties.
