Step-by-step
- 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 150degrees C (300degrees 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.

The instructions were straightforward, however, and it all came together surprisingly quickly.
The most remarkable aspect is its versatility. These little bread-like wonders can be enjoyed plain, used to make delicious sandwiches, or transformed into creative treats. I've experimented with topping them with everything bagel seasoning, sprinkling sesame seeds on top for added texture, and even using them as a base for mini pizzas. The possibilities are endless!
My favorite way to enjoy Oopsie bread? It's simple: a toasted Oopsie topped with avocado, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and a perfectly brewed cup of coffee. It's a quick, satisfying breakfast that fuels me through my busy mornings. For a more decadent treat, I sometimes create mini quiches using Oopsie bread as the base. The fluffy texture perfectly complements the creamy filling, making it a delightful lunch or dinner option.

Beyond the practical benefits, making Oopsie bread has also become a fun activity for my kids. They love helping me whip the egg whites and gently folding in the cream cheese. It's a simple way to involve them in the kitchen, teaching them about healthy eating and the joy of cooking. The pride they feel in creating something tasty and nutritious is immeasurable.
So, if you're looking for a delicious, healthy, and convenient bread alternative, I highly recommend giving Oopsie bread a try.
