For the patties, in a bowl beat the egg whites until they are fluffy and form soft peaks, gradually add the yolks one by one without stopping beating. Gently fold in the nopales, onion, Queso Panela Fud®, and Fud® Virginia Turkey Ham, and season with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat with the oil and using a spoon, place a little mixture to form a patty. Cook until golden on both sides, remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Keep covered. For the sauce, heat a small pot over high heat with the water, boil the tomatoes, garlic, onion, and serrano chili for 30 minutes. Strain the ingredients and blend with cilantro, epazote, cumin, and season with a little salt. Return the sauce to the heat and cook for 5 more minutes or until thickened. Serve the patties on a plate with the sauce and sprinkle with crumbled Queso Panela Fud®.

Tips

You can add ½ teaspoon of cream of tartar for each egg white, to make it last longer and not deflate the batter. Cream of tartar is an additive or an acidic salt that helps stabilize the egg whites.
