Rise and shine with our recipe for cloud eggs. These fluffy delights will make your breakfast soar to new heights!
Take note
Caution: consuming cloud eggs may cause extreme happiness and a desire for seconds. Proceed with caution if you're not prepared for a breakfast that will leave you floating on cloud nine.
Start by carefully cracking your eggs and separating the egg whites from the yolks. You'll need to be gentle here to avoid any yolk breakage. For best results, crack your eggs into a bowl and then use your hands or an egg separator to separate the whites from the yolks. We don't want any rogue yolks ruining our fluffy clouds!
Grab a whisk or an electric mixer and get ready to put your arm muscles to work. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. This means your whites should be thick and frothy, but still a little bit floppy. Think whipped cream consistency. It may take a few minutes, so don't be afraid to really get into it!
Now it's time to add some flavor to our clouds. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper to taste. You can also get creative here and add any other herbs or spices that you enjoy. Just remember, a little goes a long way. We want the eggs to be the star of the show, not the seasoning!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take your whipped egg whites and spoon them onto the baking sheet in cloud-like mounds. You can shape them into neat circles or go for a more whimsical, fluffy shape. Just remember to leave a small well in the center of each cloud for the yolk later on. These clouds are ready to take flight in the oven!
Pop your cloud eggs in the oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as the cooking time can vary depending on your oven. You want the egg whites to be set and slightly golden, but the yolks should still be runny. We want a creamier, dreamier yolk experience to complement our fluffy clouds.
Carefully remove your cloud eggs from the oven and prepare for the final touch. Gently place a yolk in the center of each cloud. You can either leave the yolk as is or give it a little seasoning with some salt and pepper. We love the drama of a perfectly runny yolk, but feel free to cook it a bit longer if you prefer a firmer yolk. Your cloud eggs are now ready to be devoured!
