You will love the unique appearance and delicious taste of Cloud Eggs. These puffy baked egg whites with a creamy yolk center, are usually served for breakfast on buttery brioche toast.
Cloud Eggs are an internet sensation. Very popular on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. I discovered them during a google search for popular recipes. Decided to give ’em a try and share the results with you.
Although there are several recipes online, I decided to try Food Network’s recipe. I added my own twists by using a LOT of black pepper. Served on toasted wheat bread instead of brioche.
If desired, add crumbled cooked bacon or chopped deli ham. I must tell you I LOVE scrambled cheese and eggs with a passion. So, I sprinkled a little shredded cheddar cheese on one Cloud Egg. Delicious results.
Enjoy this fun recipe!
