Oopsie bread
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Separate the egg yolks into one bowl and the egg whites into another.
- Whip egg whites together with 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 want, 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 8 oopsies on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for about 25 minutes – until they turn golden.
Tip!
Break from tradition and swap out tuna for canned salmon or chicken.

I was too lazy to make oopsies, so I used my convenience frozen slices of egg plant with tomato puree instead. Works just as well and tastes great. My mum is not a low carber, she got her portion on a multigrain bread and was very happy with it as well.
It was excellent both ways.
I used 4 cans of 6oz tuna (in water) and that was more than enough for 6+ servings.
Thank you!
