Cloud Eggs

Posted on September 21, 2019August 15, 2022

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!
