Description
Make fluffy cloud eggs with this easy step-by-step guide. They are a viral breakfast sensation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: A sprinkle of cheese or herbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks. Place egg whites in a clean, dry bowl and egg yolks in separate small bowls.
- Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites.
- Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape.
- Gently spoon the whipped egg whites onto the prepared baking sheet, forming two cloud-like mounds. Make a small well in the center of each cloud.
- Bake the egg white clouds for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly golden and set.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Gently slide one egg yolk into the well of each cloud.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 3-4 minutes, or until the yolks are warmed through but still runny.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fluffy cloud eggs!
Notes
- Ensure your bowl and beaters are completely grease-free for best egg white whipping results.
- Do not overbake, as the yolks will become firm.
- Customize your cloud eggs with a sprinkle of shredded cheese, chopped chives, or a dash of paprika before the second bake.
