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 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.

Make and share this Eggs on a Cloud for One or Two (Toaster Oven) recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Chef Joey Z.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 whole eggs (separated)
2 teaspoons vegan margarine
2 pieces of sprouted bread (toasted)
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the toaster oven broiler.
  • Toast the bread in your toaster.
  • Get two ramekins and one medium bowl and separate the egg whites into the medium bowl and the egg yolks into the ramekins so that each yolk is in its own ramekin. Try not to break the yolks.
  • Whip up the egg whites to the stiff peak stage.
  • Once the toast is done spread the margarine on it and divide the egg whites in half and put one half on each piece of toast.
  • Make a well in the middle of the egg whites on each piece of toast.
  • Carefully slip the egg yolk into each egg white being careful not to break the yolk. The idea is to keep the egg yolk whole inside the white.
  • Sprinkle with some pepper.
  • Put under the hot preheated broiler. Try not to put it any closer then 3" or it might cook the whites too fast or even burn them.
  • After about 3 minutes, check the eggs because some toaster ovens are hotter then others.
  • When done, the egg whites should be browned on top and the yolks will be runny much like a soft boiled egg.
  • Remove from the broiler put them on a nice plate and dig inches.
  • Bon Appetit!

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.
