Whether you are looking for a fun new way to cook eggs at home or are on the search for more low-card recipes, these cheese cloud eggs are absolutely delicious! They are high in protein and nutritious with a blend of eggs and cheese. They have a cloud-like texture from whipped egg whites along with runny yolks in the middle that are perfect for dipping toast into.
To make the cheese cloud eggs, you first divide the whites and yolks from two eggs before whipping the egg whites up to stiff peaks. Then, you dollop the egg whites on a parchment-lined baking sheet before topping them with the egg yolks, cheese, salt, and pepper, and baking them in the oven.
What are Cheese Cloud Eggs?
Cheese cloud eggs are a simple four-ingredient recipe including eggs, cheese, salt, and pepper. The egg whites are whipped up to a thick meringue-like consistency, which are then mounded into cloud shapes and topped with egg yolks and cheese. The results are eggs with a bouncy cloud-like texture and runny yolks.
Pro Tips
- Use an egg separator so you can gently separate the eggs without breaking the yolks.
- Feel free to use whatever cheese you enjoy the most as long as it is a melting cheese such as mozzarella, swiss, provolone, or cheddar.
- For added flavor, you could garnish the eggs with dried herbs or red pepper flakes.
- Don’t overbake the eggs. You will know they are done when they are just set but the yolk is still runny.
