Description

Light and fluffy cloud eggs featuring a crispy Parmesan edge and a soft, runny yolk center—this elegant yet simple breakfast recipe is perfect for starting your day with a touch of gourmet flair.


Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 2 eggs (separated)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Cheese & Garnish

  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: chopped chives or herbs for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a clean, dry bowl and setting the yolks aside individually in small bowls to avoid breaking.
  3. Whip Egg Whites: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the egg whites together with 1/4 teaspoon salt until stiff peaks form—this means the peaks hold their shape firmly when you lift the beaters.
  4. Fold in Parmesan: Gently fold the grated Parmesan cheese into the whipped egg whites using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  5. Form Mounds: Spoon the fluffy egg white mixture onto the prepared baking tray in two mounds, shaping each with a small well or indentation in the center to hold the yolk after initial baking.
  6. Bake Whites: Bake the egg white mounds in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes until they start to become lightly golden and firm.
  7. Add Yolks and Finish Baking: Carefully place one reserved egg yolk into the well of each egg white mound and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 3 minutes, ensuring the yolks remain soft and runny.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped chives or herbs if using, and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to keep yolks runny and soft.
  • Add a pinch of garlic powder to the egg whites for an extra layer of flavor if desired.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture as the cloud eggs can deflate if left to sit.
