Description

Light and fluffy cloud eggs featuring a crispy Parmesan cheese edge and a soft, runny yolk center—an elegant yet simple breakfast option perfect for a quick and impressive start to your day.

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

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

Cheese and Garnish

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Tray: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Separate Egg Whites and Yolks: Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a clean, dry bowl for whipping and reserving the yolks separately, taking care not to break them.
  3. Whip Egg Whites: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the egg whites together with the salt until stiff peaks form, meaning when you lift the beaters, the whites hold firm peaks without collapsing.
  4. Fold in Parmesan Cheese: Gently fold the grated Parmesan cheese into the whipped egg whites, being careful to maintain the fluffy texture to ensure cloud-like mounds.
  5. Form Mounds and Create Wells: Spoon the fluffy egg white and cheese mixture into two mounds on the prepared baking tray. Make a small well or indentation in the center of each mound to hold the yolks later.
  6. First Bake of Egg Whites: Bake the mounds in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes until they are set and beginning to turn golden around the edges.
  7. Add Yolks and Final Bake: Carefully add one egg yolk into each well in the baked egg white mounds. Return the tray to the oven for an additional 3 minutes to lightly set the yolks while keeping them soft.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle chopped chives or your choice of herbs on top for color and extra flavor. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the eggs or the yolks will harden and lose their creamy texture.
  • For additional flavor, sprinkle a little garlic powder into the egg white mixture before baking.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best melting and flavor.
  • Be gentle when folding in the cheese to keep the egg whites fluffy and airy.
