Quick Cloud Eggs for a Light Breakfast
Cloud eggs are airy baked whites with a soft yolk center—an easy, impressive breakfast that’s simple to make.
Method overview:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet.
- Separate eggs, placing whites in a bowl and keeping yolks intact in small cups.
- Whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon mounded whites onto the baking sheet, making a small well in the center for the yolk.
- Bake whites for 3 minutes, gently add yolks into the wells, then bake 2–4 more minutes until yolk reaches desired doneness.
Tips:
- Add grated cheese or chopped herbs to the whipped whites for flavor.
- Use very fresh eggs for best texture.
- Serve on toast or with a side salad.
Cloud eggs are light, visually striking, and ready in about 10–12 minutes—great when you want a special but quick breakfast.
