Let's start with the basics. I'm sure many of us wish we could still have some sort of bread, even if only as a vehicle for meat, eggs, or cheese on our sandwiches. Despite their apparent simplicity, this riff on Paleo Oopsie Rolls have a great flavor reminiscent of potato bread and is easily modifiable to suit most any palatte.

 

You know you miss it

 Ingredients:

1/8 tsp cream of tartar

1/8 tsp salt

3 egg whites

3 Tbsp lowfat cream cheese or neufchatel, room temparature

2 Tbsp water

 

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 300F
 

Beat egg whites & cream of tartar until stiff peaks form
 

Blend water, salt & cream cheese
 

Fold cream cheese mixture into egg whites gently
 

Spoon in 6 equal sized 'patties' on nonstick surface (parchment paper with NS spray or silpat)

Ready for the oven - the shapes will roughly even out during baking

Bake at 300F for 20-30 minutes depending upon elevation. Remove when browned but at about the texture of the tip of your nose.

Perfect. Now please cool faster so I can eat you

Remove from baking sheet and allow to cool to room temperature

Store in refrigerator in an open ziploc
