Cleochatra's Revoloopsie Rolls (home-made hamburger buns and more)

[berighteous]

yeah the recipe page isn't there anymore, although a lot of her oopsie spinoff recipes start with nearly identical oopsies, so you can get it that way, but I saved it off for reference.

I need to make oopsies for the 9 pound pulled pork I made tonite. That was so yummy! I brine the pork butt in pickling salt and molasses overnight and then put a rub on and cook it low and slow in the oven until you can pull it apart with forks (10 hours). Add a good coleslaw (with splenda this time) and I'm in dire need of oopsies to make sammiches.

I use 8oz (the small block) of cream cheese and 8 eggs, that in 2 muffin pans gives me 12 nice buns for my sandwiches.

[theislandgirl]

1 egg, divided
1 oz cream cheese
pinch cream of tartar

Multiply up as needed, usually start with 6 of each, me, and 1/8th tsp cream of tartar.

Whip the heck out of the white, then whip the heck out of the yolk and cream cheese. Fold the two together carefully. Bake.

Great place to start if you only have one little bitty toaster oven.

I'm starting to think these things may be stalling me

[cleochatra]

How many of them are you eating?

Cream cheese is a known staller for some low-carbers, so it's not surprising they might be causing grief.

[madpoet]

Not a ton actually... certainly no more than 3 in a day.

[pepperette]

...that it took me so long to try the oopsies! For months, I have read the posts, looked at the pics, wished I had a mixer, got a mixer, then waited a couple more months before getting it out today, washed it, dried it, got the eggs out to warm up. Put on my big girl panties and made a batch. The whites got stiff, the cream cheese blended, and they baked up really lovely (sorry- no way to do pics ). DS2 tried one and liked it- me too. Made some choccie cream cheese frosting- it wasn't so good. Still have the last 2 oopsies, but I think not for long!!

[theislandgirl]

Put on my big girl panties ...

you GO, girl!

[cleochatra]

lool! You are so cute, pepperette. I love it.


madpoet-- For some folks, cream cheese is a staller. You could try making them with mayonnaise instead and see if you have a different reaction.

I am just getting ready to have a chicken salad oopsie sandwich, it is too good to be true. Again Cleo, thank u for making the mistake......Kiss to u

I had taco bell tacos on oopsies yesterday.

[Distant Thighs]

OK I tried them!

They taste like eggs.... light and fluffy eggs, but eggs. I used 4 eggs/4 oz cream cheese.

Any suggestions??

[jenna...]

Jen,

I've found if I leave out the salt and stevia, they do taste eggier, but the meat/vegie fillings usually over power the oopsies for me.

Salt and Stevia? I only used eggs and cream cheese - I must be WAAY off!

[berighteous]

They taste way better with some salt and a little sweetener. I use 2 tsp of splenda, and like 1/4 - 1/2 tsp of salt per 4 egg batch. I made cheeseburgers today.

[speedy]

omg I just made my first batch they came out perfect .I was starved for taco bell flavor so I made these after reading one of the posts above about taco bell on them ....so I made the taco meat from the recipe on here and added it to the oopsie along with shredded cheddar and lots of hot jalapenos ummmm .....one question Can they be toasted ? For say like making an egg , ham & cheese sandwich for breakfast ......I was totally out of ideas for new things to eat but now I am saved ..omg thanks again

[berighteous]

yeah, but you have to have the toaster on like 1 and watch it. They burn quickly.

[speedy]

oh thank you

The very original recipe was: (btw I use 8 oz Cream Cheese and 8 eggs for 12 buns)

Cleochatra's Best Ever RevolOopsie Rolls


3 large eggs
1 pkg Splenda
dash of salt
pinch of cream of tartar
3 ounces cream cheese (not Tbsp!) Do not soften!

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Separate the eggs and add Splenda, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture). Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.

Bake about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool. Store them in a bread sack or a ziplock bag to keep them from drying out.

FYI..... I'm on the Somercize plan (that's close to Atkins, but not really - we can use a lot of Atkins great recipes!!!!!)... and this is very close to our "Cream Cheese Pancakes". (she leaves out the cream of tartar, but having made and loved - of course!!! - the Oopsie rolls, I use it here) So if you don't have time to bake them, or want something for breakfast - use the batter in a skillet and make pancakes!!!!!

One thing - where I like the Oopsies light and fluffy, I don't like my pancakes that way. I'm used to the denseness of those that are made with flour, etc. SO - what I do is after beating the egg whites to stiff peaks and folding them in, I beat down the batter with a spoon until it's more liquid and less fluffy. Then pour it in the skillet.

I think they have a slightly different taste and texture than the Oopsies when cooked this way. Oopsies are dryer (of course, because of the oven and longer cooking time), perfect for sandwiches.

Just "food for thought"

[cleochatra]

Very cool, Cary! Thank you for sharing, and it is so nice to meet you!

Yeah, I used Splenda in the original recipe and then decided that unless the recipe should be sweet to just nix sweetener. I'm fickle. lol

I toast oopsie waffles in the toaster, but agree. Totally keep an eye on them, or they go a bit cajun.

My whole family (including sisters and a brother, my parents, and all grandchildren) went to Tuscany for a two week holiday, we had three nice appartments close to each other and just a little bit too far from the beach..I took my mixer, cream of tartar and xanthane with me and prepared oopsies almost every other day for me and my father, a diabetic who tries to control his blood sugar via low carb, and it works beautifully for him! We had oopsieburgers for lunch, but he took them apart and ate them with knife and fork, made me smile... I loved just picking up the burger and taking a hearty bite (oops, it that really English???)

We had oopsies for a snack or for breakfast, with cream cheese and sugarfree jam it was a treat in the afternoons, when the others were indulging themselves with ice cream and cookies..

We had a lot of vegetable casseroles, grilled vegetables, salads, a lot of wonderful meat, some very nice fried sea food... my father was very strict with himself, my family went for pizza three times, and I couldn't resist--- but gained only two pounds (gone already after no more cheating since coming back)...

I had oopsie sandwiches for the way to and for the journey back, and was happy an satisfied!

At the moment my favorite recipe is oopsies with black cumin, followed by oopsies with fried onions and cheese, and oopsies with a little da Vinci-vanilla syrup...

My husband was wondering if it wouldn't get boring for me... then he noticed all the variety and mumbled that bread wasn't boring for him, too...

I just wanted to share some oopsie moments!

Best regards

I made these today for the first time and they actually looked like the pictures YEAH. I did them in the muffin top tin though and don't care for the indentation that the tin makes. I think next time I will try on a flat cookie sheet.

Do you use two for a sandwich or cut one in half???? I don't know if mine are thick enough to be cut in two.

[Lise]

vli I use 2 for a sandwich....yum yum yum

[cleochatra]

Josuanna-- it is so nice to meet you! I am SO happy to hear these worked well for you and so appreciate your testimonial! Thank you!

I'm the same as Lise. I use two for a sandwich.

[Josuanna]

Now, we have a kind of turkish-german thing here called Döner, it's gyros in a piece of turkish bread, very nice! I cannot put it between two oopsies, because the sauce would drip. So I bake a large rectangular oopsie and let it soften...with lots of black cumin, of course! Then I can fold it with the meat and sauce inside...

Otherwise I take two for a sandwich, too
