Ingredients

  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tbsp Cream cheese
  • 1 pinch Salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
  2. Step 2: Separate the egg white from the yolk carefully.
  3. Step 3: Using a hand mixer, beat the egg white with a pinch of salt on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolk with the cream cheese until you achieve a smooth texture.
  5. Step 5: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites using a rubber spatula. Fold slowly to keep the mixture light and airy.
  6. Step 6: Spoon the mixture into round shapes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 15–20 minutes at 150°C (300°F), or until the oopsies are golden brown.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of herbs or garlic powder to the cream cheese mixture before folding.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese for creamier texture; ricotta can be a substitute but may alter the consistency.
  • Make sure to fold gently to keep the egg whites fluffy and prevent dense bread.

Storage

Store the oopsies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To freshen before eating, warm them briefly in a toaster or oven. Avoid freezing as it can affect the texture.

How to Serve

The bottom layer is a soft, slightly yellow bun, topped with dark green fresh spinach leaves. On top of the spinach are several thin, light pink slices of turkey folded loosely, creating soft folds and texture. The sandwich is next to a cluster of light pink turkey slices also loosely folded on the parchment. The top bun is golden brown with a slightly shiny, fluffy texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cheese instead of cream cheese?

You can substitute cream cheese with ricotta or mascarpone, but the texture might be less smooth and slightly denser. Avoid harder cheeses as they won’t blend as easily.

Why do my oopsies collapse after baking?

This usually happens if the egg whites are overmixed, or if you fold the yolk mixture too quickly, deflating the air bubbles. Be gentle when combining ingredients, and avoid opening the oven door too soon.

Ingredients

  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tbsp Cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) ensuring it’s ready for baking the cloud bread to achieve the perfect texture.
  2. Separate the eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolk, placing them into two separate bowls.
  3. Beat egg whites: Using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt on high speed until stiff peaks form. This creates the meringue base for the cloud bread.
  4. Mix yolk and cream cheese: In the other bowl, combine the egg yolk with the cream cheese and mix until smooth and well blended.
  5. Combine mixtures: Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the stiff egg whites using a rubber spatula. Fold carefully and slowly to avoid deflating the meringue, preserving the airy structure.
  6. Spoon onto baking sheet: Spoon the mixture into round shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick mat to maintain shape and prevent sticking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cloud bread turns golden brown and feels light and fluffy.

Notes

  • Ensure egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for the best airy texture.
  • Fold gently to maintain the volume of the meringue mixture.
  • Use cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Eggs must be fresh for optimal meringue results.
  • Store leftover Oopsies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
