Meringue fans, say hello to these puffy eggs in clouds with a sunshine-yellow center.

If you like your eggs over easy, then you will love these fluffy eggs in clouds with oozy yolks! The light and airy egg white base has a whipped marshmallow-meets-meringue texture for a unique twist on baked eggs.

These eggs in clouds are a cinch to make. First, separate four egg whites from the yolks. Using an electric hand mixer, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This is the secret to cloud egg success! The egg whites need to be firm enough to hold their shape when baked.

Gently fold crumbled bacon and chopped chives into the egg whites, then form the cloud nests by mounding four spoonfuls onto a prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to make a dent in the middle of each mound. Bake for three minutes, then add the yolks to the dents. Bake for a few more minutes, or until the egg whites turns golden brown and the yolks are slightly set.

These baked eggs in clouds are an easy way to feed a large brunch crowd – just double or triple the ingredients as necessary. Serve them as they are, or use as a topping for salads or slices of Paleo toast.

Easy Eggs in Clouds Recipe

Recipe by: Dina Hassan

Meringue fans, say hello to these puffy eggs in clouds with a sunshine-yellow center.

Tools

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Electric hand mixer
• Spatula

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• ¼ cup chopped chives
• ¼ cup crumbled bacon or pastrami
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Using an electric hand mixer, whip the egg whites until fluffy and stiff peaks form.
• Carefully fold in the chopped chives and bacon using a spatula.
• Spoon four mounds of whipped egg whites onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a teaspoon to make egg yolk-size wells in the center of each mound.
• Bake for three minutes, then remove from the oven and gently add a yolk into the center of each cloud. Return to the oven and bake for two more minutes.
• Remove from the oven, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Notes:

• This recipe bakes the egg yolks for two minutes, so they are still slightly runny. If you want them gooey, bake for three minutes. For completely set yolks, bake for 5 minutes.
• This recipe calls for bacon and chives, but you could also use other chopped fresh herbs, chillies, or your favorite Paleo cheese. Try experimenting!
