Cloud Eggs are a delicious breakfast dish. They start with fluffy egg whites that have been whipped until stiff then seasoned to perfection.
The use of egg whites is what makes all of this possible. Separating the whites from the yolks and whipping them into stiff peaks.

The reason for the egg whites is the yolk has fat in it and will encapsulate the egg white, stopping the ability of air from being whipped in.
From there, you will want to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Going all the way to stiff peaks helps strengthen the proteins in the egg whites, helping with the finished texture of your egg clouds.

Crafting Your Clouds
With a gentle hand, shape the whipped whites on a parchment-lined baking sheet. There is no need for perfection here; the beauty lies in the unique, cloud-like shapes you create.
Customizing Your Clouds
Elevate your Egg Clouds by folding in grated Parmesan cheese and finely chopped herbs before baking. These additions infuse each bite with rich, savory notes and a hint of freshness.
Baking to Perfection
A quick stint in the oven for about six minutes is all it takes to turn your whipped whites into golden, firm clouds, ready to cradle the precious yolks.
The Final Masterpiece
Place a yolk in the center of each cloud before the final bake, ensuring a runny, golden treasure in every fluffy white nest. The result is a visually stunning and deliciously rich experience.
