Good idea! Here in Southern California (technically one big desert) those kinda days call for counter top oven. It's cute and so much cooler then the big oven, unfortunately the space inside is kinda small for oopsies.

Yeah, I could do 2 oopsies at a time in my little toaster oven... but even so, having that on for 30 minutes while they bake, lotsa heat generated by that little thing.

This is also why I was attempting to see how it turned out to make oopsies in the microwave. But of course what I ended up with was flatsies... and I do mean flat... about like a very limp, bendy potato chip. They were still tasty, but I wouldn't have gone to all the trouble of beating the egg white stiff if I'd realized they were going to go that flat!

[COLOR="Magenta"]I set up a 'kitchen' in the garage, in the summer.. Toaster ovens, roaster, even the crock pot {if I really knew how to use that} I wish I had a regular oven out there...

I figure it's already hot out there anyway. I want to get a large, toaster/oven/convection oven, to go out there. I've seen some that are large enough to do what I need to do...[/COLOR]

I guess I could take the toaster oven out on the patio and use it out there... Some days, I might not even need to plug it in!

Cleo!!! Count me in as a new convert!!! I couldn't believe how easy these were to do after following your directions - I made some that looked like yours on the first try. I've already eaten my first batch because I'm so excited. Moderation tomorrow I guess....

Awesome creation!!!!

Mama...just throwing this out there....someone, or you, could try and bake the oopsies on a grill and see how it goes. Newer gas grills have a great capacity to keep temperatures even and all that razz.

I bought some spiffy mini cake pans from Target today and they work wonders. My Oopsies turned out much better today. They have a more definite shape and I like that.

*does a dance*

I DID IT! YES! I finally made a successful batch of oopsies! I am not sure how many times I've tried...3? 4? I've never gotten my whites to peak but I was determined tonight because we had way too many eggs in the fridge. I tried one and OMG! I'll be making these a lot! I wish I had them earlier I made LC sloppy joes but didn't eat bread with mine.

I am definitely getting some of the mini pans to make these more uniform my LC life will never be the same. ...FINALLY!

TY Cleo for yet another great recipe.

I'm afraid to try these. In the picture they look eggy and spongy, are they? Are these really a good substitute for bread?

If you're eating them just by themselves, then yes.. you can taste the eggs. But if you're using them as actual bread, then no. Especially when I put a hamburger, mayo, ketchup on it.. I can't even tell. Or I'll even use them as "pancakes" and put butter and syrup on them.

I think they are the perfect substitute for bread, cause it sucked all those months not being able to eat a hamburger on a bun.

I put the link to the recipe in a thread below in this forum for the crepes, angel food cake, and crullers, and chocolate glaze...

Here it is!

ahh I must try those! I wish I had seen this before going to the store today. I'm shy a few ingredients. Tomorrow maybe. I DO have the pans for those though. Its funny because I almost made my oopsies in them the other night because I want a perfect round one BUT I knew the hole in the center might be an issue for some uses. lol

I went looking for some small type pans today for bun style but walmart didn't have any. and thats the only place I went.

I think I've made 3 batches of these since I posted that I did it! lol they are so good and the GREAT thing is I've been stalled going on FOREVER and I was down one lb this morning. I shall call them miracle oopsies. lol

I may have to try making monkey bread out of oopsies basically all I need is the "bread" and I can use everything else. My kids would LOVE it!

Lickrish-- I think these can be stallbreakers because of the high protein and fat in the rolls. Even though the texture is VERY different, ingredientswise, they're scrambled eggs with cheese--two things which really facilitate weight loss on a lower-carb, whole-foods plan as essentially induction-menu foods. I really think these are also filling enough that you just have little to no hunger afterwards. It really sticks to the gut.

thank goodness they don't taste like scrambled eggs. Its about the only way I can't stand eggs which is funny because I loved them as a kid.

YEA its PMS etc time too and this is when I usually lose weight. I know totally opposite than the norm. I wish I could lose weight the other 3 weeks of the month too. lol

I finally made these...I'm not quite sure how I feel about these yet. I omitted the sugar but didn't add anything extra. I am quite proud of myself that I was able to whip up egg whites on my first try. I took the advice and put the beaters and the bowl in the freezer first (I even put the eggs in the freezer...hehe). I baked them for 25 mins. and mine came out soooooooo light and airy. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't very eggy. yay! The consistency is kinda weird the best way to describe it is that it kind of melts in your mouth the way cotton candy does, just kinda disappears. I took half of one and added mayo/mustard turkey and cheese and it was pretty good. I will definitely make these and play around with the add-ins. I have a few questions:

Are they suppose to be really light and airy? (mine crumbled on the edges)

Can these be baked directly on a pizza stone?

For those of you making pizza are you adding all the ingredients and then putting them under the broiler?

Do they get soggy when you add the pizza sauce?


Thanks Cleo, for the recipe! It'll be fun playing around with it!!

Made the crullers last nite...

I couldn't find the mini angel food pans but found a silicone mini bundt pan (4 cakes per pan) so I used that for the crullers. OMG they were so cute - and SOOOOO good. Even my non LC hubby was impressed. The only thing I did different from the recipe was mixing sweeteners. I used 1/2 splenda and 1/2 erythritol (or however you spell it) in both the oopsies and the glaze.

Sorry I didn't get to take a picture as they were devoured too soon. :blush:

And I was down almost a pound this morning.

Anyway, these will stay in my LC rotation for sure!

Thanks again Cleo for sharing your inventions with us!

My version directly from the oven are flakey and croissant-like. If I want closer to hamburger bun consistency, I fridge them overnight -- completely changes the texture and pliability, and totally eliminates crumbling.

What version are you making - the original rev rolls (1 Tbsp cream cheese to 1 egg) or the oopsie version (1 oz cream cheese to 1 egg)?

I've never made the original revs, but from what I understand, the original rev rolls are very brittle when they first come out of the oven, and absolutely must be stored overnight to become pliable and more breadlike.

Having said that, I sometimes find my oopsies a little bit brittle along the edges when they first come out of the oven. I let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to cooling racks though, and unless I had some poorly folded liquid oopsie batter that spread out and made the edges thin, they soften up quickly while cooling.

I'll try that, thanks!

I made a sweet version last night and don't care for it as much as the savory versions. For some reason to me it tastes more eggy than the savory version. I did add half a sf jello pudding cup and whip cream and that definitely helped bulk it up and make me feel more satisfied.

Oh and whoever it was that made waffles with these, can you tell me how you did that and what recipe you used? I tried this last night and ended up with light airy scrambled eggs in my waffle iron
