I make mine more often with mayo or cottage cheese than with cream cheese, simply because cream cheese tends to stall me. I think the cream cheese ones are sturdier like Cleo said, esp. for burgers with heavy condiments, but my mayo one last week held up fine to a double cheeseburger! Mayo and cottage cheese are fine with the sandwiches. So in other words... I likes 'em all!!

What I DO want to try is the whey protein she used. She said it made it more bready. Now THAT would be fantastic. And not much more on the carbs either![/COLOR]

is the mayo or cottage chesse a 1 for 1 mix and do you use tbls or oz? I have tones of protein powder at my house thats for sure

I was just reading another thread where she mentioned taking these out for dinner with the fam and switching out the bun at red robin sounds like a great idea to me.

[COLOR="Indigo"]I use 3 tablespoons of either cottage cheese or mayo for each 3 egg recipe making 6 rolls. I haven't tried it with just 3 tablespoons of cream cheese but I just might! I've only done cream cheese using Cleo's recipe for 3 ounces. [/COLOR]

Mary is right on the three ounces!

Cream cheese is 3 ounces (which makes a bun supple and strong enough to hold those Red Robin burgers)!

I've taken them to RR several times and have had amazing success with their huge gourmet burgers. (Carl's Jr too)

I tried making the oopsie recipe tonight and putting them in cupcake foil containers. I don't know what I did wrong but they did not turn out the way everyone has described theirs. They had an "eggy" taste (sort of like french toast) and I am not able to cut and use as toast/bread/sandwich because it is not "solid" enough.

I don't have a mixer so I used a whisk for the egg white and a spoon for the yolk mixture. Does anyone have any idea what I could have done wrong? because everyone's photos are really making me hungry for a sandwich and/or dessert.

My egg whites needed to be mixed longer I only have a hand mixer and I did not use nearly enough COT. She used a half a tbsp for a double batch so 1/4 tbsp for a batch would be good then.

Also has anyone tried these with cottage cheese like she said?

she did tbsp I used ounces but I swear that is what it said aaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggggg

I am soooo confused lol

ps one of my yolks broke in the white I fished all of it out but a tiny bit that might not of helped either from what she said

I really think these would play a big roll no pun intended lol in my diet if I can get them right lol

In the video, she's more following the original recipe. The oopsies came about because our beloved Cleo accidentaly (oopsily) used 3 oz instead of 3 TBS, and the rolls came out more sturdy, tasty, etc...

I'm not a cooking expert but the whites were prob not thick like they should....a mixer is most likely needed. I tried before to whip by hand to no avail..I got a hand mixer at target for $6

[marymc]

[COLOR="Indigo"]I put those suckers on my KitchenAid at high speed and just let 'em go whilst I stir the yolks ... I cannot imagine trying to hand whip, but I guess some people can do it! I'm kinda old... only thing I would end up with would be a big old hand cramp and limp egg whites! But that's just me..[/COLOR]

That is what I would like to do...add whey! Are you adding a plain protein or flavored. I've looked in the grocery store to see if they carried the plain whey, but they were all flavored...I am going to the health food store tomorrow to check it out.

[s1mon3]

Mary , it is so nice to put a face with a post!

[marymc]

[COLOR="YellowGreen"]Oh thanks s1mon3... I take the pic on and off to keep ya'll guessin' Just kiddin' LOL... I do change it back and forth though. I like variety!

When ya'll say whey protein is that the "whey protein isolate" stuff or the other "whey protein powder" stuff that comes flavored like in vanilla? Or are they both the same thing really? I don't know anything about this stuff. I bet that would really give the rolls some substance tho.[/COLOR]

[s1mon3]

I like variety too...nice picture!

I am referring to the powder stuff that comes in the different flavors such as vanilla. I don't know about the isolate...I know it probably has to do something for the texture. I add it when I make the flax bread and it helps that recipe too.

I used protein powder in my egg yolk mixture to get delicious waffles..there is a thread here somehwere about it and they were the best Ive had!

[caidenlee]

When you make the waffles do you use all the regular ingredients and then add the protein powder? How much protein powder do you use? Thanks

I can't wait to try them. I have my SF smuckers breakfast syrup on standby!!

Yes, the regular ingredients are used with the addition of the protein added to the yolk mixture. While I haven't tried to make them myself, I belive it is one scoop or 1/2...Sorry I can't recall exactly...someone will be able to give you the correct amount...Good luck!

[Tryinghardtolose]

OK.....Let me try to be clear on this. If your making the rolls...for sandwiches...you use 1 TBS of protein powder, added into the yolk mixture. I'm assuming that makes them more sturdy. But if your making waffles, you use 1 scoop of the powder. Right?

Also, if you want to leave out the cream cheese, you only use 3 TBS of mayo? That's enough to make them as sturdy as with the cream cheese?

I have my eggs seperated and coming to room temp right now, and I can't wait to try these!!! Do you all use them fresh from the oven, or are they better after sitting overnight, like with the cream cheese muffins?

Thanks!

Use exactly the same ingredients but 1/2 scoop protein powder to the yolks..delicious! And I never wait for my eggs to come to room temperature..you can put them in a bowl of warm water for one minute or so and they are at room temp..someone from the foodnetwork gave me that hint..maybe it was Nigella Lawson..cant remember but it works perfectly.

Never separate your eggs over the bowl containing your whites. If a yolk breaks use it for another purpose and get a new egg. Even the smallest bit of yolk in the whites can diminish their ability to whip properly.

The whites definitely have to be whipped to full peak "dry" (turn the bowl over and they don't fall out). Can't tell from here if yours are that fully whipped or not, though it IS do-able if you have a strong arm.

Can tell you that using a muffin cup is probably not going to produce the wider flatter type, as in the various pictures in this thread. Page back through a few and look at the pics, that will help. They will take longer to cook through and will probably be more moist in the middle if they are in a cupcake type cup.

My oven temp is right on 300 (I use a thermometer to check it) and the wider flatter ones on a sheet take 35 minutes instead of 30. So maybe your oven temp isn't right on either...

But mostly I think it might be the cupcake shape. Always follow a new recipe as closely as possible to see how it works in your kitchen, then make the changes.

I just wanted to share a panini with Cleo's basic recipe for Oospies except with 4 eggs/4oz. cream cheese. I spread it onto a jelly roll pan and baked it 30 minutes @ 300F.

I cut the Oopsie "bread" into 16 pieces. I stacked it with roasted vegetables*, goat cheese, kalamata olives and a few slices of turkey tenderloin (Leftover from a few days ago).

I "grilled" on a George Forman Grill (don't have a panini maker). But you do get the nice grill marks. It was very tasty.

*Roasted vegetables
Preheat 450F. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil on a jelly roll pan.

Add roughly chopped one of each:

• red pepper
• green pepper
• orange pepper
• banana pepper
• a few slices of red onion
• 1 tbsp each of fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, oregano)
• salt and pepper
• 1/2 tsp fennel seed

Toss it up and roast for 30 to 40 minutes.

Thank you for all of your suggestions. I don't think my egg whites were at full peak. I am going to definately have to buy a mixer. I might not have baked them long enough as well (although the fork came out clean). Anyway - they weren't that bad tasting - I ate some ham and cheese on them this morning. Not sturdy enough or big enough for a hamburger but it worked well with the ham and cheese. I will have to try them again another time.

Can you store Oopsies in a cupboard or should you store them in fridge? How long can you store them?

[cleochatra]

I think they can safely sit on the counter for a day. After that, I'd refrigerate. Their life in the fridge is about 4-5 days, depending on moisture, and I try to keep the bag opened to allow for air circulation.

It is really important to note that you want to let the oopsies breathe pre-use by letting them rest on the counter in open air for awhile to allow them to 'dry out' and come to room temperature.

Cleo~ Your Wonderful~ Thank You for the recipe and advice!

[cleochatra]

You are so kind! The paninis aren't mine, though! I just came up with the oopsies.

Everything is BECAUSE OF YOU!!!! We are all having a fun time making them into different applications! You are the genious behind it all!!!

[babydollsea]

Cleo,

I just wanted to tell you that there are more people who never visited your blog or know this website BUT know you now. They are all making oopsies now in my family....We went from and Italian-pasta eaten family to an Oospie Cauliflower pizza/Lasagna one!

You are now a Star!

[cleochatra]

Wow, babydollsea! That is such a wonderful compliment. I truly appreciate it! I love Italian food, and the more ways I can eat it, the happier I am. And then I don't have to eat people. And especially Italians.

Did I mention that I made a double recipe with the original cream cheese
recipe, Put the batter into a large spring-form pan and baked, Oh boy it
rose high. Let it completely cool. Released from the pan. Cut it in half
horizontilly then filled it with Kevinpa's chocolate pudding. then slammed
on the top and covered it with more pudding. We let it set up in the
fridge for 4 hours (dang that was difficult) The we cut six big pieces
and topped with whipped cream. That is soooooooooooo good. Jay
said "can we eat it all" NO SILLY WABBIT. It was better day by day
until every smidge was gone. Now I am going to make a dyNOmight chili
relleno casserole with it. Wish I would learn to use camera, take pictures,
and post, but I'm too busy cooking and learning right now
