Ingredients
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 slices Bacon
  • 1/4 Avocado
  • 1 tablespoon Cream Cheese
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon, chopped Chives (optional)

Preparing the Bacon

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until crispy. Remove from oven and set aside.

Preparing the Egg Whites

Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl. Add cream cheese and a pinch of salt and pepper. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

Baking the Cloud Eggs

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently scoop the whipped egg whites onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a small nest in the center of each cloud. Bake for 3 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully place an egg yolk in the center of each nest. Bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until the yolks are set to your liking.

Serving

While the eggs are baking, mash the avocado with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Once the cloud eggs are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Place the cloud eggs on a plate, top with crispy bacon, mashed avocado, and chopped chives (if using). Serve immediately.

FAQ

  • Can I use a different type of cheese?

    Yes, you can substitute the cream cheese with other soft cheeses like goat cheese or mascarpone. However, the texture and flavor will be slightly different.
  • Can I prepare the egg whites ahead of time?

    It is best to prepare the egg whites right before baking as they can deflate if left to sit for too long.
  • How do I know when the egg yolks are done?

    The egg yolks should be set to your liking. For a runny yolk, bake for less time. For a more solid yolk, bake for a little longer.
