Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Nonstick cooking spray
4 large eggs
Kosher salt
4 slices buttered brioche toast, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Coat 4 small bowls with nonstick cooking spray. Separate the eggs and put the whites into a medium bowl and the yolks in the small bowls (1 yolk per bowl). Add a large pinch of salt to the egg whites and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Dollop 4 large spoonfuls of the egg whites onto the prepared baking sheet and make a small well in the middle of each with the back of a spoon. Bake the whites until they are firm, no longer wet and just beginning to turn brown, about 6 minutes. Gently pour 1 yolk into the well of each white. Bake until the edges of the yolk just start to set while still being runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Serve on top of buttered brioche toast.

CHEF JOHN'S CLOUD EGGS



Chef John's Cloud Eggs image

You've probably seen these things blowing up on social media recently, and by recently, I mean like 2 years ago. These are very easy to do, very fun to make, super cool to look at, and very enjoyable to eat. This could also be a pretty cool menu item for a Mother's Day brunch. Serve on generously buttered toast with a pinch of cayenne and a sprinkle of coarse sea salt.

Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 large eggs
¼ teaspoon white vinegar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon unsalted butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®) and butter lightly.
  • Crack 1 egg into a clean hand and then separate carefully by letting the egg white drip down between your fingers into a large bowl. Reserve the yolk in a separate, smaller bowl. Repeat with second egg.
  • Pour vinegar into the egg whites, add salt, and whip with a whisk until we have relatively firm, but not dry, peaks.
  • Spoon onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not too wide, as we want some height here. Shape as desired and make a small depression in the top centers using a spoon for yolks.
  • Bake in center of the preheated oven until they just start to take on some golden color, 5 to 6 minutes. Add yolks and bake until yolks are heated through, but still runny, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve on butter toast.

EGGS IN A CLOUD

http://inncuisine.com/elegant-entrees-for-breakfast-brunch/grand-re-opening-kitchen-tested-recipe-eggs-in-a-cloud/

Provided by ellie3763

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 slices bread
4 slices pre-cooked ham
4 slices swiss cheese (I recommend Baby Swiss)
4 large eggs, separated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly toast bread slices and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean up.
  • Top each slice of bread with a slice of ham; top ham with a slice of cheese.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a mixing bowl until fluffy and stiff peaks have formed.
  • Mound egg whites attractively atop each slice of bread, forming a well in the center. Slide an egg yolk into the center of each egg white well.
  • Place cookie sheet in the center of oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are lightly golden and egg yolks are just set (egg yolks will be over-easy to over-medium in doneness).
  • Remove cookie sheet from oven. Plate immediately and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Make sure your egg whites are at room temperature. This will help them whip up more easily.
  • Use a clean bowl and whisk. Any grease or residue can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
  • Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high speed as they begin to foam.
  • Beat the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks. This means that when you lift the whisk out of the bowl, the egg whites will hold their shape.
  • Fold in the egg yolks and any other ingredients gently. Overmixing can deflate the egg whites.
  • Bake the cloud eggs in a preheated oven. This will help them to rise evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the cloud eggs while they are baking. They can burn easily.

Conclusion:

Cloud eggs are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch dish. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. Whether you like them sweet or savory, cloud eggs are sure to please everyone at your table.
