Oopsie Bread
photo by cheryl s.
- Ready In:
- 35mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
6-8 breads
- Serves:
- 4-6
ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1⁄2 cup cream cheese
- 1 pinch salt
- 1⁄2 tablespoon psyllium husks (optional)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
directions
- Separate the eggs, with the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in another.
- Whip the egg whites together with the salt until very stiff. You should be able to turn the bowl over without the egg whites moving.
- Mix the egg yolks and the cream cheese well. If you choose, add the psyllium seed husk and baking powder (this makes the Oopsie more bread-like).
- Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mix – try to keep the air in the egg whites.
- Put 6 large or 8 smaller oopsies on a baking tray.
- Bake in the middle of the oven at 150° C (300° F) for about 25 minutes – until they turn golden.
- You can eat Oopsies as bread or use them as a bun for a hotdog or hamburger. You can also put different kinds of seeds on them before baking them, for instance poppy, sesame or sunflower seeds. One big Oopsie can be used for a swiss roll: Add a generous layer of whipped cream and some berries. Enjoy.

I have made these a few times and just a quick tip here... it is SOOOOO important that you bake these on parchment paper!!! Not just a nonstick pan, not on a greased pan... on parchment! It also might work on a silpat but I haven't tried yet. I tried a couple times on a greased nonstick pan and it got so stuck it took ages to clean the pan and I obviously didn't get to eat any oopsie bread lol. Psyllium husk can be found at a lot of grocery stores, health food stores and Bulk Barn (for us Cannucks) sells it in bulk. I really think the psyllium helps the texture but I made these so many times before I knew about psyllium and they were still really good. As for texture you are basically making a heavier meringue so that's what you should expect. It is light and airy. Anyways, I hope this comment saves someones cookie sheet! lol

Being very new to the LCHF diet, I was very pleased to discover this as I really was missing bread. The texture was a bit flaky/eggy like a omelette I found, so I added an extre TBS of Psyllium Husks, an extra tsp of baking powder and a bit more cream cheese and instead of putting them on a baking tray I placed them in a mini-greased tin. It came out perfect so even though I guess I modified it a bit, this recipe by itself is still beautiful and gave me a foundation to explore! :) Awesome!

Pizza . . . Doubled the oopsie bread recipe. Add 1/8 cup shredded parmesan; spread onto a greased parchment covered pizza pan. Bake for 22 mins at 325° - cool and remove parchment paper so "crust" is directly on pizza pan. Add sauce and toppings. Bake at 325° for 10 mins. Broil at 450° for 5 mins. Let stand for 5 mins. Enjoy!
