This is one of Mom's recipes from the '50's. Can be dinner, lunch, or fabulous appetizer. Delicious and addictive. It starts like one of those old jokes - "first you soften a quarter pound of butter" woof! 5 eggs separated, 2 cups of leftover Roast Beef chopped, just under 2 cups of grated Parmesan, Tsp powdered mustard, Tsp and a half of Worcestershire. Beat the yellows till frothy, add all ingredients ex the egg whites. Whip whites to a foam, and gently turn into the other ingredients. Large greased pie plate @ 350° till firm and browned, 45 min plus or minus. Let stand for a few minutes. It will work with less butter, but...WTH! With just two of us, we don't do roasts often, so this was Boars Head from the Supermarket. If you do that, get thick slices. The veg, SOS, still fighting the Zucchini wars. The wine, to stand up to the seasoning, a Mondavi Bourbon Barrel Cab.

Looks and sounds delicious. I was just getting ready to go to bed but now it's going to have to wait until I take a trip to the kitchen.

Thanks! Time tested, delicious, but not exactly health food, so only once in a while.

A bit of a mess to make, but you won't be disappointed.

Thanks! Have yet to meet someone who didn't like this dish. Good hot or cold. Messy but easy to make.

Thanks! This is very rich, when I was eating a lot more, I could eat a half. The photo doesn't really represent the way it should look. I couldn't get the whites fluffy enough, so it didn't rise as much as it should have. I'll attach a picture of a correct one. Having had the dish countless times, if I were going to add potato, I'd crisp up some frozen hashbrowns, up the butter and egg. Good idea!
