Bread substitute
This recipe is great for
diabetics, people with gluten allergies or people just trying to cut out carbs.
Instead of bread - make oppsie
bread instead YUMMMMM
Will you have a hard time living
without bread? Ooopsies are a good option. It’s a “bread” without carbs and can
be eaten in a variety of ways.
Oopsies
6–8 depending on size.
3 eggs100 grams (3.5 ounces) of cream cheesea pinch of salt1 teaspoon baking powder or cream of tarter
(can be excluded)
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, 1tsp of cream of tarter or 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.
