Cloud Eggs.Whipped egg whites cradle soft yolks in this fun take on sunny up eggs. These fluffy freeform clouds bake in under 10 minutes. Customize whites with cheese, ham or bacon, or vegetables like peppers and onions. Sometimes I like mine on an English muffin or wholegrain toast for breakfast. Top a burger with a Cloud Egg for added richness.

Cloud Eggs
Ingredients
- 2 eggs, large
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese, cheddar or Parmesan
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh herbs (parsley, thyme or cilantro)
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray. Separate eggs by placing yolks into individual small bowls and whites into one medium-sized bowl to whip. Use a hand mixer to beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold in cheese.
- Spoon egg whites into 2 mounds on prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to gently make an indent in the centers for the yolk to nest. Bake until lightly golden and set, about 3 minutes.
- Carefully place an egg yolk into center of each nest and season with salt, pepper and herbs. Bake until yolks are set, about an additional 3 minutes. Eat alone or serve over toast or English muffin.
Tips: Easily change the flavor of cloud eggs with a bit of spice. Try a dash of smoked paprika or a splash of hot sauce to liven breakfast.
Try one of these other egg treats for breakfast, brunch or brinner.
