Eggs in Clouds
Description
Eggs in Clouds are prepared by whipping large egg whites until stiff peaks form, then folding in a mixture of parmesan-style cheeses and chopped chives. The fluffy whites are spooned onto a baking sheet with wells formed in the centers to hold whole egg yolks. Baking at a high temperature first sets the whites, then placing the yolks in and baking briefly more keeps the yolks tender.
The texture combines light, cloud-like egg whites enriched by the sharpness of the Romano and Asiago cheeses and a hint of fresh chives. The yolk centers add a creamy, rich contrast without heaviness. This dish delivers an elegant variation on baked eggs with a unique structure.
Serving eggs in clouds with bacon or a toast accompaniment brings a complete brunch experience. The recipe highlights the balance of whipped egg whites’ airiness and the savory cheese and herbs for flavor complexity.
Ingredients
- 4 egg separated, large
- 1/4 cup parmesan Romano and Asiago Cheeses, shredded
- 1/4 cup chives chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Carefully separate the yolks and egg whites. Keep the yolks whole and put them in separate small bowls.
- In a large bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
- Fold in cheeses and chives. Spoon four mounds of the egg whites placing them on the prepared baking sheets. Form a well in the center of each mound large enough to hold the yolk, but don't add the yolk yet. Bake egg whites for 3 minutes. Place yolk in the center of the mounds and bake for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from oven and gently remove from parchment paper. Serve with bacon.
