Here is an awesome bread sub called Oopsie Rolls!! They take a little time to make if you don't have an automatic mixer like me but trust me, they are SOOOOOOOOO worth the time and SO versitile for MANY recipes! The texture is very comparable to bread!

Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 packet of Splenda
1 dash salt
1 pinch cream of tartar ( I use a little more)
3 ounces cream cheese
Directions
This recipe comes from Cleochatra's "The Lighter Side of Low Carb" blog. There is a lot more about these rolls there, including a recommendation for special pans to cook them in.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Separate the eggs and add Splenda, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together.
In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture).
Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites.
Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.
Bake about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool. Store them in a bread sack or a ziplock bag to keep them from drying out.
***I keep mine in the fridge for 2-3 weeks and they were still awesome nuked for a few seconds!!
Makes 6 @ about 85 calories a piece, >1 carb per.

I have found when making Oopsie rolls that they come out well poured onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper!!! I cut them in squares and they work great! Takes a lot of time out of the equation!0

The Original Meat Bagel Recipe
Ingredients
1 ½ onions, finely diced
1 tbsp of butter/grass fed ghee/bacon fat etc.
2 pounds of ground pork
2 large eggs
2/3 cup tomato sauce
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
½ tsp ground pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking dish (like this one) with parchment paper.
Sauté the onions over medium heat with some cooking fat, like butter, grass fed ghee etc. Sauté until translucent. Allow the onions to cool before adding them to the meat.
In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients including the cooked onions. Mix well enough to evenly distribute the spices.
Divide the meat into 6 portions. Using your hands, roll a portion into a ball and then indent the middle, and flatten slightly to form the appearance of a bagel.
Place the bagel looking meat in the dish and repeat with each of the portions of meat.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked.
Allow the meat bagels to cool. Slice the meat bagel just like a regular bagel. Fill the meat bagel with topping such as tomato slices, lettuce, onions etc.0 -
I tried to make oopsie bread last week but it simply spread out and stuck to the paper. It wasn't edible and certainly didn't form mounds. Is it supposed to be a solid mixture like a scone mix? Did I do it totally wrong lol?0

Maybe there was a little egg yolk in the egg whites? When that happens, the batter will flattened. For a little firmer "bread" you can add a tbsp of whey protein or flax meal to the egg yolkmixture. You can also sub the 3 oz cream cheese with 3 tbsp of mayo to cut the carbs even more.0

Vampirequeen1, it sounds like you didnt get your egg whites stiff enough. It takes a while and they literallly need to stand up or it will do what you described. If you aren't sure what "stiff peaks" are,
