If you haven’t heard of cloud eggs, you’ve been missing out. The Instagram worthy breakfast has surged in popularity recently because they look so good in pictures and they taste even better. Cloud eggs are a fun way to change up the way you make eggs, and even kids who normally push eggs around their plate will be intrigued by them. They are a protein-packed breakfast that can add some fun to your average morning or some “wow” to your Sunday brunch.
Recipes vary, but basically, you take an egg, separate the whites and yolk, beat the whites into a stiff foam and season to taste. Then you scoop the foam into a cloud-like form on a baking sheet covered with parchment, leaving a hollow in the middle for the yolk, and pop it into the oven. The results are light and fluffy egg whites with a yolk baked into the middle.
Season the cloud eggs however you’d like! I like to add salt and pepper, then place the eggs on buttered sourdough toast, but you can also add chives, cheese or hot sauce to suit your preferences. As you can see, I let my egg whites brown a bit more because I don’t like yolks to be too runny, but that’s entirely up to you. You can also reduce some of the browning by ensuring your oven rack is centered in the oven.
