What are cloud eggs?
Cloud eggs (a.k.a. eggs in a cloud, or cloudy eggs) are baked eggs made out of fluffy, meringue-like egg whites topped with a raw yolk. This puffy version of cooked eggs has quietly been around for years. Rachel Ray even posted a recipe for eggs in clouds back in 2012. However, they became a food phenomenon when it flooded Instagram in May 2017.

How can I make it?
Special Tools – pick one
- hand blender (this is easiest),
- hand mixer (second easiest), or
- whisk (get ready to do a lot of mixing)
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- salt and white pepper (to taste)
- sriracha/hot sauce/condiments of your choosing (optional)
- green onions (optional)
Directions
- First, carefully crack open both eggs so the yolks are intact.
- Separate the yolks from the egg whites and put the egg whites in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk the egg whites with your hand blender or whisk until they turn into a dense foam and create stiff peaks.
- On a non-stick baking sheet, form “clouds” with the egg white foam and put the raw yolk in the center.
- Stick the eggs in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes (or 450°F for 3 minutes if you want a browner look).
- Add salt & pepper plus your favorite egg toppings (hot sauce, green onions, etc.) Enjoy!
