Ooopsy Rolls: only slightly

I found this recipe back when I was looking for alternative to bread. I decided it was time to give it a try and to see how they turn out.

Ooopsy Rolls
Ingredients: makes 6 rolls
cream cheese - 3 ounces
eggs - 3 large
cream of tartar - 1/8 teaspoon (or a dash)
MEthod:
Oven temperature: 300 degrees Fahrenheit
Separate the eggs and add the cream cheese to the egg yolks. A standard package of cream cheese is 8 ounces, so I eyeball what half of the package would be (4 ounces) and then cut off a little less to get 3 ounces. Mix the egg yolks and cream cheese until combined. 
In another bowl, beat the egg whites and dash of cream of tartar until they are stiff. Really stiff... as in, you can turn the bowl upside down and they won't move. The cream of tartar helps with this. 
Next, fold the egg yolk/cream cheese mixture into the egg whites until just combined. You want to stir as little as possible to keep the air you just worked so hard to create in the egg whites. 
Spoon the mixture onto a cookie sheet that is lined with parchment paper or has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray. 
Slightly flatten each mound with the back of your spoon.
Bake for 30-40 minutes in a 300 degree oven. When done, carefully remove with a spatula to a wire rack to cool. 
Consider adding about 1/8 teaspoon of dry mustard and a dash of salt for a savory dinner roll.
When it comes to tweaking the basic recipe, let your imagination run wild!

Whip it good.
Attack of the blobs!
They are like little souffles almost.
Meatloaf, Taters, and Ooopsey Roll
These were ok. They won't keep well, so next time I will only make up 1 egg worth. Be careful to not add too much cream of tartar. I don't care for the flavor and it was rather distracting in the side dish.I look forward to attempting different seasonings in them, but I am not too excited about making another batch anytime soon.

Until the next side dish...
