Banana Souffle
I thought we were out of eggs so I bought more. Sean thought we were out of eggs so HE bought more. We were not out of eggs. We then had 18 eggs for 2.5 people none of whom eats a lot of eggs. This was my effort to fix this. Besides the butter for greasing the pan it is practically diet food…but it sure doesn't taste that way!
