The other day, I made some mayonnaise and had several egg whites left over.
I searched the internet and found several recipes for meringue cookies,
angel food cakes, egg-white omelets, and some various other things. I ended
up making meringue cookies with chocolate chips (my mom thinks too many, but
I don't) and pistachio nuts.

I had this idea for savory cookies. Instead of beating sugar into the egg
whites, beat in something like chili powder or some other spice. Then,
instead of folding in chocolate chips and nuts, fold in something like diced
ham, onions and mushrooms, then bake.

I really don't know enough about cooking with egg whites to know if this is
a viable idea. I really can't believe that I am the first person ever to
have this idea, though.

The closest recipes I could find were recipes for egg white omelets, but my
idea is more for a "savory cookie," I suppose. Perhaps they could be a type
of h'ordouerve (or however it is spelled) Next time I make mayonnaise and
have some egg whites I might try this and report if I get something good, a
big mess, or something in between.
