Adopt me? That would be SWELL! Then I'd finally have a friend that I could play action figures with and we could be all like "pew pew pew!" and stuff.

Seriously, this man cub of mine loves your bread (I was gonna say buns, but I don't think I want my 14 year lusting after your buns yet.) so much that he posed for this photo knowing it would be on the interwebs and he NEVER has agreed to me posting his picture on the internets before. (As long as he never finds my myspace, I'm safe.)

Although he is requesting a savory version now, because he said his ham sandwich tasted too pancake-y today. Demanding snot anyway.

Thanks again, you rock!

I have been lurking through this thread for a while now. I have made the Atkins version of the roll and figured you all were kidding yourselves. I finally gave in and made a batch tonight. My taste test was a roast beef sandwich with Pepper Jack cheese. It was so good!! I was stunned. I was running around the house asking everyone to take a bite of my sandwich!! They did and my daughter asked for another bite which I declined!

As I have been going through the thread, I came across the cream puff you made Cleo. It looked like it would taste like an elephant ear or funnel cake (whichever you prefer) from the carnival!! I can't wait to try that...But I have to wait until induction is over DEFINITELY!

Thank you for your cleverness, Cleo! I am sold!

p.s. I am going to Red Robin this week!

My son is 15. When he is wearing pants and not rocking out on his electric guitar to Bohemian Rhapsody, he'd make a great brother. Bring your friends. I'll feed you Baconators.

Thanks for the hearty guffaw you gave me this morning.

shannoncathy-- that sounds FABULOUS! Work it, girl! I'm doing oopsies next time instead of Little Caesars pizza scrapings. I feel like pucky on a stick.

s1mon3-- Oh, do it! Red Robin! I'll meet you there! We'll bring our bun contraband!

Just make sure the bun is big enough diameterwise. I made that mistake at Carls Jr once. The bun is strong and supple, but if it's not wide enough to hold the patty and fixins, even with the burger wrap that you replace after swapping out the bun, you might have a bit if a mess! I always make a couple of big ones just in case.

Tell me about boys at that age. My 14 yr old ate 3 buns in a row-saying he didn't know if he liked them or not but just kept on inhaling them. After 3 he decided he liked them-maybe it took that many before he actually tasted them as he gobbled. Cleo, Little Caesars toppings do the same to me-I think the sauce is loaded with sugar-that's usually what happens to me with sugary stuff.

Breakfast? Egg & Cheese McOopsie

Lunch? Roast beef sammich on Oopsies.

After lunch? MAKE MORE Oopsies!

I'm actually gonna make 2 separate batches. My usual *square* ones (for sammys) and a batch of sweet....*using peanut butter*

Hehehe! Around our house I have heard the kids play with action figures. They weren't saying, "pew pew pew" though. They were saying, "douche douche douche"! Had to help them come up with better action figure noises.

Thanks for the tip, I make sure to do that! For breakfast today, I had a sausage/egg/cheese mcmuffin! It tasted betta than Mickey Dee's. I am looking forward to all the variations. Onion powder (onion rolls), pepperoni bread, my mouth is watering and I've already eaten!!! I think I will hold off on the sweet ones, I doubt if I will be able to control myself, so I must steer clear!

Thanks again!

[Again]

My teens ate all my oopsies! They made sandwiches and wouldn't use the white bread we had. They said they liked the oopsies better. Time to double my batches.

[junkfoodmonkey]

I made my first batch today. They didn't come out quite right, I think I didn't get the egg whites stiff enough. How long does it take to whip them stiff enough?

Anyway, since the mix was too runny to make "mounds" on a tray I used a bun tray instead, so now I have 12 small rolls instead of 6 big-uns, but they are very tasty. (Well, I now have 10, since I've scoffed two of them.)

I'll give them another go next weekend to see if I can get the egg whites stiff enough.

Stiff Enough will be when you can turn your bowl of whites upside down and shake them slightly and they don't fall out.

I made two double batches of oopsie's this morning. The first were regular rolls for sandwiches, burgers, toast, or whatever with no extra seasonings.

I tried using the Xanthan Gum in both batches by adding a little more than 1/8th tsp to the whites, along with the cream of tartar. The whites beat up VERY stiff and held their texture much better during the folding process. They didn't break down at all and there was no liquid in the bottom of the bowl like I sometimes get, so I was pleased with that. I thought the rolls also had a little more consistent, better texture.

To the yolk/cream cheese mixture of the second batch I added a heaping tablespoon of unsweetened Hershey's baking cocoa and 4 drops of SweetzFree. When they came out of the oven, they smelled and looked so good we had to try them out, so we split one in half and squirted RediWhip on top and they just melted in our mouths! Yep, we had Sunday morning breakfast dessert!

The plan for the rest of the chocolate ones is to fill them with the RediWhip and pop them into the freezer. This is way better than a bowl of ice cream, any day!

That sounds like one you have to be very sure about before you try it.

Thanks, that's what I'll shoot for next time.

I'm sitting here now eating two of my little rolls made into cream puffs with real whipped cream (none of that spray can rubbish.) With a nice cup of English Breakfast tea. This feels extremely decadent.

I've been too lazy thus far to give the Oopsies a whirl -- can you tell me in what ways they are different than the original Atkins Rev Rolls as far as taste, texture, etc. What specifically is different about these that made you a convert?

Thanks!

OMG! Funny! I had a problem with BFF's teenager calling ppl a douche when he stayed with me. That day I came up with a new house rule, if you can stand there, look me in the eyes the entire time and tell me what exactly a douche is, then and only then can you use the world in my house. So far not one of five teenager boys I occasionally have in my care have had the stones to pull that feat off.

Basically it does not seem like you are eating air, and they do not crumble when you bite into them. Like everyone else has mentioned the are so versatile and hold up to just about anything. This morning I made an toasted grilled egg, cheese and sausage mcmuffin. For lunch I went out and bought a Whopper. I tossed their icky bread and ate it on a oopsie roll! I added onion powder, parmesan herb seasoning and chives to the batch I made today and it was good!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. I made the Atkins rolls one time. I decided to make these last night around 12am and already I have made 2 batches! You have to try them.

HTH

[LovesDivine]

I am a double batcher, and the bottom half is runny. But that works for me cuz I made 6 round ones from the top of the batter and pour the rest on another cookie sheet and slice 6 squares out of that.

I had soft tacos friday night and was in heaven!!

I added dijon mustard to the batch I just made. I forget who posted that, but it was on the main board in the what to cook for Super Bowl thread. She makes pigs in a blanket with this. Sounded yummy to have the extra zing of mustard, so I did it!

I have bacon defrosting. I am drooling thinking about a blt...

[lcoldtimer]

Cleo,I just love your version of the rev.rolls.I found something that works great for storing them.I placed them in tupperware after they were cooled off then placed a piece of regular bread in the container with them.It has kept them from getting mushy or damp.

[MountainGirl]

Help guys!

I have made the Oooopsie rolls several times. What I am getting is a light, airy, meringue-roll and doesn't hold up, let alone roll around something.

So, what am I doing wrong??

I am getting those egg-whites very stiff, and I am not deflating them when folding. But my rolls are NOT sturdy.

Please give me some pointers to make them more like buns and less like meringue?

Thanks!!

[lisabinil]

I made sweetened dark Dutch chocolate Oopsies. I made a dessert sammich by sweetening my Fage Greek Yogurt w/raspberry Davincis and sandwiched this between two with some sliced strawberries. Yummy!

They are not bunlike MG-think soft meringue roll-kind of a foamy texture-light but it can hold a burger.
