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.

These cloud eggs were a disaster. I followed the recipe exactly, but the eggs didn't rise at all. They were just flat and rubbery. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I love cloud eggs! They're so easy to make and they always impress my guests. This recipe is my go-to for cloud eggs. The eggs are always light and fluffy, and the hollandaise sauce is creamy and tangy. I highly recommend this recipe!

These cloud eggs were a bit more work than I expected, but they were definitely worth it. They were so light and fluffy, and the hollandaise sauce was the perfect finishing touch. I'll definitely be making these again for special occasions.

These cloud eggs were a total fail. They didn't rise at all and they tasted like rubber. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not sure I did something wrong, but my cloud eggs turned out flat and rubbery. I'll try again with a different recipe.

I had some trouble getting the eggs to hold their shape, but they still tasted great. I'll keep practicing!

The hollandaise sauce was a bit too rich for me, but the cloud eggs themselves were delicious. I'll try making them again with a different sauce.

These cloud eggs were a bit too fluffy for my taste. I'll stick to scrambled eggs next time.

Not bad, but I think I prefer traditional fried eggs.

I've made cloud eggs before, but this recipe is by far the best. The eggs were so airy and the hollandaise sauce was creamy and tangy. Highly recommend!
