Gluten-free, carb-free "bread" - who knew????

I have my Egyptian friend, Amina, to thank for this wonderful recipe for "oopsies" (I guess they were making something else and ran out of flour, so said "oopsie!") This is such a wonderful recipe not only for diabetics, but for those counting carbs and for those who are gluten-intolerant. Without further ado, here is the recipe for "oopsies"
“OOOPSIES” This recipe is great for diabetics, people with gluten allergies or people just trying to cut out carbs. Will you have a hard time living without bread? Oopsies are a good option. It’s a “bread” without carbs and can be eaten in a variety of ways. Oopsies: Makes 6-8 depending on size 3 eggs 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of cream cheese a pinch of salt ½ tsp. baking powder (can be excluded) Separate the eggs, with the egg whites in one bowl and the egg yolks in another. Whip the egg whites together with the sale 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 choose, add the baking powder (this makes the Oopsie more bread like). Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture – try to keep the air in the egg whites. Put 6 large or 8 smaller oopsies on a baking tray Bake in middle of oven at 150 degrees (300 degrees F.) for about 25 minutes - until they turn golden. You can eat Oopsies as bread or use them as a bun for a sandwich or burger. You can also put different kinds of seeds on them before baking them, for instance poppy, sesame or sunflower seeds.
