Tips & Techniques

  • "Egg-stra" Special Whites

    Egg whites provide the protein from eggs but don't contain the cholesterol found in egg yolks. That's good news for your heart.

  • Success

    Place the springform pan on a cookie sheet before putting in the oven to keep pesky drips in check.

  • Variation

    If you’re an almond or walnut lover, use them in place of the pecans.
