Check in the recipe room for oopsies. Or go to Chleos blog.

thisisrightnow · 04-14-2008, 04:30 PM

So one WHOLE box of eggs later, I think I finally got it right. My Oopsies are in the oven right now, so we'll see how they turn out in about 25 minutes. They weren't too liquidy when I put them on the tray, although they could had been a lot stiffer I think. I was determined to get it right and wasn't going to give up, unless I ran out of eggs.

Plus I bought some premade hamburger at the store tonight and I could kill for an actual hamburger right now on a BUN. I also made some muffins out of one batch I messed up cause they were WAY too liquified.

I was getting fed up with separating the egg whites so eventually I found a video on youtube and this lady did it where you put it in the bowl and you pick the yolk up with your hand and use your hand as the two shells instead. That worked SO much better. It might be gross to some, but I washed my hands and no one else will be eating these except for me.

thisisrightnow · 04-14-2008, 05:53 PM

So my Oopsies were a success. A little on the thin side, but I'll just have to make sure my egg whites are a little more stiff on the next batch.

And yes, it tasted as amazing as it looked. I was surprised how the Oopsies really don't have any taste if you're eating a hamburger on it. I felt like I was chowing down on a burger at a restaurant. Seriously. It did start to fall apart a little, but that's cause it was a little on the thin side, but thick enough for me to eat. Plus I had a huge butt hamburger, haha. It's nice being able to kick my bread addiction now, cause technically I am eating cream cheese and eggs.

I also tried one of my "muffins" with some syrup and it was pretty much amazing. Oopsie pancakes here I come. These are gonna be God sent for me now that I know how to actually make them.

I was so intimidated before cause I didn't know how to fold egg whites or whip them, but the videos on youtube most definitely helped.

I think I'm going to invest in those little pans that some people use for them. I think it'd make them a little thicker for a better shape.

sungoddess · 04-14-2008, 06:24 PM

Yours is perfect! Well done.

LindaSue · 04-17-2008, 06:14 AM

Laura, yours look perfect. Mine never come out like that. They puff up like that while they're in the oven but they sink as they cool and turn into little bowls.

Madam De Leon · 04-17-2008, 06:37 AM

Whew, what a long read this thread was!

Laura - your oopsies don't look thin to me - they look nice and thick!

Someone asked a couple pages back if it's ok to make oopsies in the microwave - I tried one time, and they poofed way up as they were cooking, then suddenly started to fall as I continued to let them cook. I'm going to try it again someday, and turn it off before they start to fall, to see if that helps. If it works, then I think they'd need a little time in the toaster oven to brown the outsides a little bit, because they'd be so pale just nuked.

Oh another thing I noticed- The ones who have had trouble with the whites breaking down and getting soupy when they folded in the yolk mixture, it sounded like some of them were trying to do that using the "fold" setting on their electric mixer. You've got to fold egg whites by hand, using a small spoon or spatula, because using the mixer for that step will definitely break them down!

I am the proud owner of muffin top pans!

I had given up, but would have ordered them eventually... In the mean time I got the little 'cake' pans at target..

I was in Home Goods today and just walking around and there they were. TWO, Cuisenart {sp} pans. 9.99 each...

Thank you, thank you very much..

Oh I did get lucky.. I can usually find anything I want, somewhere in this city.. But the elusive muffin top pans, it seemed. Until today!

I just went and bought more eggs, so I wil break them in tonight, if I get a burst of energy, or else tomorrow..

Good to be seeing more of you hanging around... It's nice that parents go to sleep early and have no life, huh...

jeanessa · 04-19-2008, 12:11 AM

My first try and I made a pretty decent looking batch of oopsies. It's not as hard as it seems. So, if you are hesitating, it can't hurt to try!

jenna... · 04-19-2008, 12:18 AM

Alright Jeanessa! They look great! I love my Oopsies on a BLT.

Madam De Leon · 04-19-2008, 03:16 AM

They look downright professional, Jeanessa!

So... have you tried one yet?

jeanessa · 04-19-2008, 09:06 AM

Yep, I loved the oopsie. It is very sturdy and held up my bacon and egg sandwich quite well for my first induction meal. I am full and raring to explore. I am going to try the protein powder to see if it is more bread-like (but this is going to be a staple for me regardless!) and maybe tomorrow fire up the grill and have an oopsie burger!

Thanks, Cleo for making induction easier for the masses!

Charski · 04-19-2008, 09:14 AM

I got a quite "bready" version by adding 1 scoop unflavored protein powder (I like Designer Whey), 1 tablespoon each flax meal and raw wheat bran, to the egg yolk mixture - they're quite good!

Thanks, Charski, I'll give it a try!

DolphinsOnMyMind777 · 04-19-2008, 09:34 AM

I just ordered a muffin top pan. I think it will help keep the shape I am looking for and more even all around.

Cutie · 04-19-2008, 02:10 PM

congrats nessa!

jeanessa · 04-19-2008, 05:37 PM

Thanks, Cutie! I made some more with the protein powder and here they are...

Picasa Web Albums - Jeanessa - Food Porn

The protein powder ones rounded out a little more, are a bit thicker and are not at all squishy. I'll let you all know how they taste tomorrow when I can re-start my 3-4oz. of cheese!

cleochatra · 04-19-2008, 05:50 PM

Cool! I am so glad you're finding a use for them! It's not often I find something I utterly mucked up in the kitchen helping anyone.

I hope you're faring well! I have been uper-busy but check in when I can in case there are questions I can help with--though usually I'm too late these days.

backatitagain40 · 04-19-2008, 06:00 PM

CLEO YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!! I made these...what a riot.. I am def challeneged culinary wise..(.two dozen eggs later haha) tried them with low carb sloppy joe's and omg fabulous!!!!
