Oopsie Rolls!

So I follow a lot of healthy eating blogs, and I stumbled upon a real treasure. They're called "oopsie rolls" and are promoted on the Atkins meal plan.  Here's the recipe:

3 Large eggs
1 Packet of Splenda
1 Dash of salt
1 Pinch Cream of Tartar
3 Ounces of Cream Cheese (Use low fat or Weight Watchers like I did)


... That's it!

So, here's how... First, separate the eggs and add Splenda, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together.  In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture. It's gonna take a good long while to whip the egg whites. You want to be able to nearly tip the bowl upside down without them sliding.)

Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Bake about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool. Store them in a bread sack or a ziplock bag to keep them from drying out.

You can double up the batch and make them bigger. These are a great bread substitute. You can slice them in half for mini sandwiches. Or you can make them bigger and make BIG sandwiches ; )


Bon Appetit!
