7. Serve! Season your eggs with salt and pepper (if desired) and serve immediately!
Add-In Ideas
Bacon and parmesan cheese shouldn’t have all the fun! There’s so many options when it comes to add-ins for these egg clouds! Here are a few of our favorites to help get you started:
Meats: Cooked sausage, cooked pancetta or prosciutto, diced ham or Canadian bacon
Veggies: Sauteed peppers & onions, chopped spinach & sun-dried tomatoes
Cheeses: Cheddar, asiago, feta or mozzarella
Herbs: Chopped cilantro or parsley
A good rule of thumb is to add 1 Tbsp per egg of each ingredient you want.
Tips For Making The Best Egg Clouds
Always separate your egg yolks into their own individual ramekins! This way if one of them breaks, you won’t loose ALL of your egg yolks.
Be gentle when folding in your ingredients. These egg whites can deflat very easily if they’re over worked so it’s best to mix until they’re just combined. (I usually do 3-4 “turns” with the spatula and that’s it!)
Try not to overcook your egg whites! They can become very chewy and deflated.
Ingredients
4 eggs
¼ cup parmesan cheese, grated
¼ cup bacon, crumbled
¼ cup green onions or chives, sliced
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Then carefully separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Place the whites in a large mixing bowl and place each yolk in a separate small ramekin. (This makes it easier to add the yolks to your egg whites later.)
Next use an electric mixer to beat your egg whites until stiff peaks form. (About 2 minutes.) Then gently fold in your parmesan cheese, bacon bits and green onion.
Spoon 4 mounds of your egg white mixture onto your prepared baking sheet and make a small well in the center of each with the back of a spoon.
Then place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 3 minutes. Once done, remove the pan from the oven and place a yolk in the center of each well. Then return the pan back to the oven and cook for 3-5 more minutes or until the yolks are cooked to your liking.
Season with salt and pepper to taste then serve with extra sliced green onions sprinkled on top.
