A quick and easy breakfast recipe featuring fluffy whipped egg whites baked with runny yolks on toasted thick-sliced bread, creating a light yet indulgent morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 slices thick-sliced bread (sourdough or country loaf preferred)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Butter or olive oil for toasting bread

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Separate the eggs carefully, placing the whites in a mixing bowl and setting the yolks aside individually on a small plate.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in a pinch of salt and the grated cheese if using, careful not to deflate the whites.
  5. Spoon the whipped whites into two mounds on the baking sheet, shaping a small well in the center of each for the yolk.
  6. Carefully spoon each yolk into the nest, being gentle to keep the yolk whole.
  7. Bake for 3-5 minutes until the whites are golden brown on top but the yolk remains runny. For a more set yolk, bake an additional minute.
  8. While the eggs bake, toast the bread slices until golden and crispy, optionally spreading butter on warm toast.
  9. Carefully transfer the cloud eggs onto the toast using a spatula. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and chopped herbs if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better volume. Separate eggs carefully to avoid yolk contamination in whites. If whites brown too quickly, lower oven temperature to 425°F and bake longer. Toast bread while eggs bake to serve immediately. For dairy-free, omit cheese or use nutritional yeast. Gluten-free bread can be used as a substitute.
