Cloud Eggs

Eggs in a cloud – a stunning baking technique with whipped egg whites and a cloud-like effect

👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 230°C (445°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. 3
    Separate the eggs: the whites into a clean bowl, and each yolk into its own small cup.
    Bowl
    💡Separate each egg on its own, over a cup: a drop of yolk in the whites keeps them from whipping, and a broken yolk doesn't end up in the bowl.
  4. 4
    Whip the egg whites with a pinch of the salt, to stiff, stable peaks.

    💡Whip egg whites in a clean, dry bowl, without a drop of yolk.
  5. 5
    Form a mound of foam on the paper for each egg, with a well in the center of each mound made with the back of a spoon.
  6. 6
    Bake on the baking sheet 3 minutes, until the foam is lightly golden.

    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  7. 7
    Put a yolk in each well and sprinkle with the Parmesan, salt and black pepper.
  8. 8
    Bake on the baking sheet 3 minutes, until the yolk is warm and still runny.
