Here is what I made tonight. Took a couple pieces of my coconut bark and melted it. Then poured over my Oopsies and put in freezer for a few minutes. Then spread some Cool Whip on one Oopsie, put both together and made a lowcarb "IceCream" Cookie Sandwich type thingy majig... VERY GOOD!

Judy, thank you for posting that for me. I am looking it up now. I look forward to trying Oopsies! I am learning so much here to add to what my mom has taught me. ~Brandi~

[cleochatra]

brandis-- I am a second generation low-carber, too! My dad taught me the way when I was 14. While the road hasn't been an easy one, I still look back and appreciate what he gave to me in terms of knowledge, as unconventional as it was at the time. Now my kids are fans of low-carb. I think it is something special to be able to pass on healthy eating and a positive lifestyle to the next generation!

Sorry, I was feeling nostalgic!

Great idea, I'm going to do that from now on. Here some more tips for keeping them from getting soggy and stuck together.

• Don't seal the container when you store them. Here's a pic of the way I store mine, in a container in a partially closed zip-top bag.
• Store them up on their edges, like books on a shelf, rather than flat like a stack of pancakes.
• Store loosely, in a container where they have space and are forced together tightly.

I also put them in the toaster oven for a minute before using. Has anyone tried using an actual slot toaster? (I don't have one.)

I use a slot toaster all the time when using my oopies. But watch them closely, as they burn quickly. I just toast them lightly so that they dry out even more. YUMMY!!!!

Where is the thread about how to make oopsies please?

[zizi]

I can't find the Oooopsie recipe. HELP!!!

[3tikes]

Look back on page 5 of this link: I can't believe how long this thread is! Kudos to all of you on your cooking and experimentation, I'm making these today!

Cleochatra's Best Ever Revol-Oopsie 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.

Mine just came out of the oven......mmmmmmmmmmmm. I added mustard, garlic salt, cayenne pepper and parmesan cheese to my yolks. I made some in silicone mini muffin pans with hot dog in them. They all turned out great. Two (probably stupid) questions.....when you have a sandwich, you use two of them right? In other words, you are not cutting one in half right? Because mine are really flat. Also, the ones I made in the muffin top pan really stuck, even though I sprayed with olive oil......? I will try the reynolds release with my sweet ones, I do better with the shape being made for me, I'm not very good freehanded!!!

I have officially given up on getting these to work. I've wasted nearly a dozen eggs and they always turn out flat. I'm not even going to try anymore, obviously I'm missing something. Yours all look so fluffy and good but I guess I just suck in the kitchen . Its so discouraging.

[Madam De Leon]

Yes, you need to use two for a sandwich.

I"m not sure olive oil is "slippery" enough to keep them from sticking to your pans, unless you use a LOT of it. I've started using parchment paper to keep them from sticking.

Oh my - don't give up!

Even your flats will be tasty- use them as wraps instead of buns.

When you whip your egg whites, do you whip them so that they'll form stiff peaks? And that you can hold the bowl upside down without them falling out?

Then when you fold in the yolk mixture, do you do it very gently, by hand? Some people have tried using the "fold" setting on their mixer - nope, that won't work, it'll just break down the volume of the stiff egg whites.

So use a very small spatula or teaspoon, and gently mix in the yolks by hand. If you end up with yolk mixture not mixing in and falling to the bottom of the bowl, you can sometimes get it to mix in by scraping it back up to the top, or you can just make mounds on your baking pan from the fluffy parts of the mixture, then make little wells in those (like making a gravy well in your mashed potatoes), then go back and and add the soupy mixture to the well, so it doesn't spread all over.

If you've been doing these things and they've still come out flat... well, we'll still continue to try to trouble shoot for you - but don't give up, these are soo worth it!

Its my egg whites that are giving me the problem. I thought I had it today, they didn't fall off the spoon when I turned it upside down but I guess that didn't mean much . I left the eggs out until they were at room temperature, chilled the bowl I mixed them in and everything else I saw for tips. Maybe its because I used a mixer instead of a hand mixer?

[zizi]

THANK YOU 3tikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3tikes]

Mine are kinda flat too, I mean I could never slice them down the middle. I used xantham gum as well. Mine have peaks here and there on them, but I agree, flat or not, they are soooo worth it. Make french toast tomorrow!

[Soobee]

Maybe try making floopsies. They seem less touchy.

[hipslikemonroe]

Thank you so much for this recipe! I've been making a batch every week and they've gotten me through induction so much better than when I did it before. I make oopsie french toast or 'egg mc muffins' for breakfast nearly every day. I also make an individual pizza's with them and they satisfy my late night pizza craving. I love OOpsies! I failed the first time, but found if i use the brick cream cheese and keep it cold they hold up much better than when i tried the whipped/soft kind it turned very liquid, and it spread out making them flat.

Test the bowl of stiff egg whites - very stiff - I mean they should look like this when you pull the beaters out of the stiff egg whites:

| | |
^ ^ ^

As opposed to like this:

( ( (
^ ^ ^

Then, just to make sure, turn the entire bowl upside down - those egg whites should be so stiff that they don't even slide around a little bit in that bowl, much less fall out!

I don't personally worry at all about whether the eggs are room temp or cold, or whether the bowl and beaters are cold or warm. I think that's something that's only important when you're whipping cream, not egg whites.

The electric mixer should make the job easier than a hand mixerfor whipping the egg whites.

You can also use the the electric mixer to mix together the egg yolks and cream cheese.

But, do not use any kind of mixer to fold the yolk mixture into the stiff egg whites!!!

Use a long thin spatula or teaspoon to very gently fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Don't worry if there's some whites that don't turn yellow - it's ok, because this is where you're going to run into problems if you overmix.

When you make the piles of oopsie batter on the baking pan, you can flatten it slightly if you want.

Please also realize that these are not going to be 1"tall buns like the hamburger buns you'd buy. Mine are usually less than 1/2" high once they've cooled off, and yes, you need to use two of them for a sandwich, they're far too thin to slice.

They won't be perfectly smooth on top when they're cooked either - but that's ok.

The idea here is to have something to put your sandwich meat or burger fixin's in that you can pick up with your hands, rather than having to use a knife and fork all the time.

Oh and so you can also have some lovely breakfasts, like french toast.

Valentine's Day mini pizzas. It's time to share the picture again.

I love Madame de Leon's imagery. lol!

So you don't want my breasts to form in the oopsie batter.

You want Posh Spice breasts.

Yes, I'd love it if my girls looked like that!

So here's the thing - make sure those egg white peaks are *perky*!

[cleochatra]

If I can turn the bowl upside down and the egg whites don't move, I know I'm good.

Unlike my breasts.

[missymagoo12]

i am going to try this recipe out again and see how it does. sue

[3tikes]

Okay, honest to pete! I can't quit eating these. I had two for a sandwich today (that by the way held up to turkey, bacon, and coleslaw, yummy) and then I made a sweet batch with some unsweetened cherries and walnuts sprinkled on top (ate two of those) and made a batch as muffins with jalapenos and cheddar sprinkled on top - ate two of those also. How bad is this? I'm afraid to make anymore cause I can't quit eating them.....and I ate them right out of the oven - can you imagine how good they'll be tomorrow? Okay, we all know there won't be any tomorrow but help! I'm an oopsie-addict! Is there a support group?

[straightscoop]

If you are having trouble with your oopsies falling flat, I have a suggestion. I use Better 'n Eggs egg substitute instead of whole eggs. You can whip it up like egg whites and therefore you don't need to fold in the yolk. Lucrene brand of egg substitute works too (sold at Safeway stores), but Egg Beaters don't whip properly. I also use Laughing Cow cheese wedges warmed to room temperature instead of cream cheese. It's very soft and spreadable and comes in herb and garlic and onion flavors too. You just mix a small amount of your beaten eggs with it first so it's thinned out, then fold that back into the rest of the eggs. I get really light and fluffy oopsies this way and also a lower calorie count for those of us who need to watch calories and carbs. I've also experimented with gently folding in a little wheat bran to make the oopsies a little less eggy tasting and makes a great base for pizza crust if you spread it out into a large cookie sheet lined with non-stick foil.

I was so ready to have a "Philly" on these rolls last night (basically just the meat/cheese part). So excited!

My husband is the one who cooks in our family, not me really. So, I had him help me because I didn't want to mess it up. However, it turned out really runny in the end and they just sort of spread all over the sheet and were a mess. I was heartbroken! I did salvage a couple that I sort of made mini taco shell like shapes out of so it wasn't a total loss.

I am assuming DH didn't get the whites stiff enough? I want to try again because all of these pictures are mouth-watering, but I am so easily frustrated if I mess something up.

I have no trouble with oopsies falling flat, but your cheese wedges sounds intriguing. How many and what's your recipe?
