Oopsie "bread"

So, I made my first Oopsies last night... I must admit I was pleasantly surprised with how they turned out, bar one thing:
THEY WERE SO SALTY!!!

Does anyone have any suggestions of how to offset the saltiness? The recipe I used is as follows:

3 medium eggs
100g Philadelphia
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Thanks :flowerforyou:

    The recipe I have uses cream of tartar, not sodium bicarbonate, but I don't think that will solve your saltiness.
    Maybe look for a different brand of soft cheese with a lower salt content?

  • Recipe Ingredients for Oopsie Bread -12
    3 large eggs
    1/8 tsp cream of tartar
    3 ozs cream cheese
    1/8 tsp salt
    Recipe Directions for Oopsie Bread -12
    Separate eggs.

    Beat whites with cream of tartar until stiff.

    Beat together the egg yolks and cream cheese and salt.

    Fold whites into yolks.

    Using tablespoons, put 12 mounds on a cookie sheet and spread until about 1/2" thick

    Bake at 300F about 20 minutes.

    They should give to the touch and be slightly brown on top. Too long and they get crumbly.

    Yeh, I didn't have any Cream of Tartar in so just used my 'go-to' bicarb!
    Maybe using a different cream cheese would help though.

    Thank goodness I didn't add any extra salt...
