Fluffy cloud eggs are light, airy baked egg whites with a runny yolk center, perfect for an elegant and quick breakfast that impresses and delights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • Pinch of salt
  • Black pepper (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
  2. Separate the eggs carefully, placing the whites in a large mixing bowl and the yolks each in separate small bowls. Be gentle to keep the yolks whole. (5 minutes)
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the whites on medium speed until frothy. Add a pinch of salt and continue whipping until stiff peaks form—you’ll know it’s ready when the peaks stand tall and don’t droop when you lift the beaters. (5-7 minutes)
  4. Gently fold in Parmesan cheese if using. This adds flavor and firmness to the clouds without deflating the whites. (1 minute)
  5. Spoon the whipped whites onto the baking sheet in four even mounds, creating a small well or indentation in the center of each cloud to hold the yolk later. (3 minutes)
  6. Bake the whites for about 3 minutes until they start to turn golden and hold their shape but aren’t fully cooked through. (3 minutes)
  7. Carefully add one yolk into each indentation, being careful not to break it. Return to oven and bake for another 3 minutes, or until the yolk is just set on the outside but still runny inside. (3 minutes)
  8. Remove from oven and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately for best texture. (2 minutes)

Notes

Use fresh, room temperature eggs for best results. Whip egg whites to stiff peaks and fold in ingredients gently to maintain fluffiness. Watch baking time closely to keep yolks runny. Using parchment paper prevents sticking and burnt bottoms. An electric mixer is recommended for whipping whites efficiently.
