Cloud eggs took over the internet for good reason. They’re ridiculous. They’re fun. And they turn plain eggs into something that looks like breakfast from a fairy tale.

Whip the whites into stiff peaks. Pile them into clouds. Nestle the yolk in the center. Bake until golden. The result? Crispy, fluffy, dramatic clouds with a warm, runny heart. Break out your camera. Then break out the toast.

Ingredients

Serves 2.

• 4 large eggs (separated into whites and yolks)
• ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, but helps fluff)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese (optional)
• Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish
• Toast or avocado toast, for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prep and Separate

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Separate eggs carefully. Place each yolk in its own small bowl. (Don’t break them!)

Step 2: Whip the Whites

1. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. They should look like shaving cream.
2. Gently fold in cheese, salt, and pepper if using.

Step 3: Form the Clouds

1. Scoop whipped whites into 4 mounds on the parchment paper.
2. Use the back of a spoon to create a shallow well in the center of each mound (holds the yolk).

Step 4: Bake the Whites

1. Bake for 3 minutes until the clouds are lightly golden on the edges.
2. Remove from oven. Carefully slide one yolk into each well.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

1. Return to oven and bake for 2-4 minutes longer. Whites should be golden, yolks still wobbly.
2. Garnish with chives. Serve immediately with toast for dipping into the runny yolk.

Summary

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cook Time: 5-7 minutes | Total Time: 15-17 minutes

Yield: 4 cloud eggs (2 servings)

Difficulty: Easy (keep those yolks intact!)

Storage Notes

Cloud eggs are not leftovers. The whites deflate. The yolks set. Eat them immediately or don’t bother. If you absolutely must, you can whip the whites ahead of time and refrigerate for a few hours. But honestly? Just make them fresh. It takes 15 minutes.
