A light and visually impressive breakfast made with fluffy whipped egg whites baked into cloud-like shapes, topped with rich, creamy yolks.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs like chives or parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Separate the egg whites from the yolks, keeping the yolks intact.
  3. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
  4. Spoon the whipped egg whites onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into mounds with a small well in the center.
  5. Bake for 3–5 minutes until lightly golden and set.
  6. Remove from the oven and gently place a yolk into the center of each mound.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 2–3 minutes until the yolk is slightly set but still soft.
  8. Season with salt, pepper, and optional toppings like parmesan and herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure no yolk mixes with the whites for proper whipping.
  • Use clean, dry bowls for best volume when beating egg whites.
  • Add cheese or herbs to the whites before baking for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture.
  • Reheat gently in the oven if needed, but avoid microwaving.
