Tecno-- that sounds great! Let me know how it turns out...

Tecnokitty · 02-11-2008, 11:19 AM

Oh my gosh Cleo, that was SOOOOO good!!! To die for!! I cut them like little tea sandwiches, so cute! Too bad my camera batterys are dead

Mallory · 02-11-2008, 11:48 AM

What size of pan do you think you used..and how long did you bake them for? Same time?

Tecnokitty · 02-11-2008, 12:09 PM

I baked it in a ceramic 12 4/5 X 9 3/4 bakeware and yep, I baked for the same amount of time

terrioso · 02-11-2008, 12:45 PM

I LOVE these rolls! I ran across the thread a couple of weeks ago and the first time I made them I "folded" them too much--they seemed ok when I spooned them on the baking sheet but in the oven the "melted" and were very flat, almost like pancakes. I used them on burgers but a bit messy. The second time I folded less and the were better. This time I think will fold the yolk in even less.

After FINALLY making it through all 39 pages (as of now) I found very good information and hints so I think the third time will be the charm!

Cleo--I too live in the Denver area. I will try leaving the ziplock back open and maybe they will not stick to my fingers when eating. It's amazing the life of it's own this thread has taken on.

Thanks again Cleo for the wonderful oopsies and thanks to everyone for the great recipes. My meal reputoir (sp) will now be larger!

Welcome Terrioso! I live down in the Springs. I leave my buns sitting out on the counter for a couple of hours before I put them in the baggie. They don't seem to get sticky when I do that.

Trents · 02-11-2008, 03:54 PM

These are so good,its my first time trying this..Im so glad i did,goodbye to LC bread..These are better IMO..Thanks so much for this recipe...It's Quite simple too..

greannmhar · 02-11-2008, 04:14 PM

Can you overbeat the egg whites for Oopsies? I have an old Kenwood Major mixer with a giant whisk and it fairly whomps my egg whites into a poofy heap

I have difficulty fitting the rolls onto the tray - could easily make 8 rather than 6. The texture is a little weak when baked, though - like savoury candy floss! Still great!

These muffins sound good! I'm really going to give it a try because I'm seriously wanting a burger that I can hold. It sounds kinda cool will give it a shot today!

metqa · 02-12-2008, 03:00 PM

Well, I was gonna brag about how I had a sloppy joe on Oopsies, but I just discovered that my oven cooks too high, and so I got a thermometer to make sure that the temp was 300. well I think I undercooked my Oopsies! They looked beautiful and lightly browned, and I let them cool for like 40 min, but when I bit into it it was Wet.

I think I Overstabilized my whites. I used cream of Tartar and a tiny sprinkle of xanthan and it held together well. Folding was weird, but it always is. they stood up on the cooking sheet well. I guess that was because there were huge caverns of stiff egg white that didn't break down in the folding. Oh well. back to the kitchen. Too many variables.

cleochatra · 02-12-2008, 03:13 PM

Tecno-- you tease! It sounds good

Hi terrioso! I am so glad that they're turning out better-- I barely fold in the yolks. It seems to mix together well without much effort. Weird, I know... Welcome to the board, BTW!

Trents-- I feel the same way. Who misses bread? Not me! I went to Red Robin lasy night and had a huge burger on an oopsie, and it was tremendous!

greannmhar-- I've never overbeaten whites before, but you can overmix the whites with the yolks. I find that I only need to fold two to three times in order to have the mixture fully together. Then, if there is any runny mixture, I spoon it over the tops of the more set rolls at the end.

Yummy's-- these rolls were for the Baconator in my house for the longest time. For a more savory flavor, I sub out the Splenda for dry mustard and a small amount of dill weed...

I took Shop Class in middle school-- it's where the cute boys were.

Boushela-- I made a batch last night right before we ran out the door to a restaurant and then I was ready to go! Even warm I let them cool on the restaurant table and they were ready to go by the time food came...

Thanks, Cleo - I added some whey protein to my last batch and that helped the texture a lot. My whites get really HUGE - I add a little vinegar with the COT, maybe that's why. I never have a problem with the fold part. I think it helps to temper the yolks with a bit of the beaten white beforehand - works for me.
Great recipe

Hi. My name is Anne and I'm now an oopsie-aholic! What a GREAT recipe.

I wish I had let mine sit on the counter overnight, but after toasting one it came out just perfect.

Has anyone tried to use half cream cheese and half shredded cheddar? Or, is this a giant no-no. I buy the light Trader Joe's shredded cheese, which is one carb. It might be a great hamburger roll. (I think the stats are right)

Here are the stats from fitday with 1.5 oz cream cheese and 1.5 oz light shredded cheddar and 1 tsp reconsituted onion flakes, and a 1/4 tsp garlic powder:

........grams....cals....%total
....Total:....377
Fat:....30....269....72%
Sat:...14....126....34%
Poly:....3....23....6%
Mono:..10....89...24%
Carbs:...4...16...4%
Protein:..22..88..24%

I'm going to try this and see what happens. How bad could it be...or, how good can it be???

Anne

AnDee · 02-12-2008, 08:13 PM

I recalculated the recipe with the cheddar cheese - here are the accurate stats (I put the TJ's shredded cheese into fitday this time) and what the rolls look like at the 15 min mark in the oven. They smell heavenly. The calories are higher than what I posted before, but not substantially. They are still only 1 carb per roll.

........grams.....cals.....%total
Total:............497 (83 for 1 roll)
Fat: 37....329....67%
Sat: 18....166....34%
Poly: 3.....23....5%
Mono: 10...89....18%
Carbs: 6....22....5%
Protein: 36...142..29%

After 15 min in the oven.

Here's the finished product.

PS I always use Cream of Tartar for my egg whites and they come out perfect.

Well, I didnt get my baconator from Wendy's since the weather was bad. Maybe tomorrow, but the weather may be bad then, too, they say. (Personally, I think it is a conspiracy to keep me from the baconator!

)

I did try my oopsies today, though, to make a tuna salad sandwhich. Yummy!

My oopies got sticky in the ziplock bag though. I let them cool two hours then bagged them and left the bag half unzipped laying out on the counter. They were sticky today, but tasted good.

I'm not sure how to avoid the stickiness.

Can these be toasted? I thought maybe I seen a post somewhere saying they can be, but I can't find it now. Has anyone tried it, and if so was it a success?

AnDee · 02-12-2008, 10:10 PM

I brought one to work today and toasted it and it was great. It got rid of the stickiness. I put a schmear of cream cheese on it and it was heaven.

I'm leaving the cheddar cheese oopsie rolls on the cooling rack overnight to see if they'll be less sticky. Then, I'll put them in partially open ziploc bag.

artinformation · 02-12-2008, 11:42 PM

OMG I just made the oopsie's tonight and they were great. They tasted sweet to me so I kept thinking french toast or mini cream puff. I will leave out the splenda next time and make them more savory.

i tried in 9th grade home ec because SOME people werent very SPECIFIC about the meringue for my lemon meringue pie! (yes im still quite bitter about that! she acted like i shouldve known! whats a 13 year old know about pie?!?!?)

anywho, the results are poo....you wont get stiff peaks. at all.

Add them to your yolk mixture right before you fold into your egg whites.
