Baking Tips
Ensure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and dry - any grease or water will prevent the egg whites from whipping properly
Cold eggs separate more easily, but room temperature whites whip better - separate when cold, then let whites sit for 10-15 minutes before whipping
Be extremely careful not to get any yolk in your whites when separating, as the fat in the yolk will inhibit proper whipping
If you're new to separating eggs, do it one at a time into a separate small bowl before adding the white to your mixing bowl
Adding cream of tartar helps stabilize the egg whites and maintain their volume during baking
Don't overmix your add-ins - fold them in very gently to maintain as much volume as possible
The indent for the yolk needs to be deep enough to hold the yolk but not so deep that it breaks through to the parchment paper
Watch closely during the final minutes of baking - the difference between a perfectly runny yolk and an overcooked one is just a minute or two
Serve immediately for the most impressive presentation, as the clouds will gradually deflate
For softer, more runny yolks, bake for the minimum time suggested; for firmer yolks, add 1-2 minutes

Ingredients

Custard Cream
01
4 large eggs, separated
02
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, helps stabilize egg whites)
03
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
04
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives, divided
05
1/4 teaspoon salt
06
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
07
Pinch of garlic powder (optional)
08
Optional Mix-ins (choose 1-2):
09
2 tablespoons finely chopped cooked bacon or pancetta
10
2 tablespoons finely chopped ham
11
2 tablespoons very finely diced bell peppers
12
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs (such as thyme, dill, or basil)
13
2 tablespoons finely shredded cheddar or Gruyère cheese
14
For Serving:
15
Buttered toast points or English muffins
16
Fresh herb sprigs for garnish
17
Cherry tomatoes, halved
18
Microgreens or baby arugula
19
Flaky sea salt
20
Freshly cracked black pepper
21
Equipment:
22
Stand mixer or hand mixer with whisk attachment
23
Large mixing bowl (preferably copper or stainless steel for best whipping)
24
Small bowls for separating eggs
25
Silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet
26
Rubber spatula
27
Measuring spoons

Instructions

01
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02
Carefully separate the eggs, placing the whites in a large, clean mixing bowl and each yolk in its own small bowl or ramekin. Make sure no yolk gets into the whites, as this will prevent proper whipping.
03
Add cream of tartar (if using) to the egg whites. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed, begin whipping the egg whites until foamy.
04
Once foamy, increase speed to medium-high and continue whipping until soft peaks form.
05
Add the salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) to the whites and continue beating until firm peaks form - the whites should stand up straight when the beater is lifted.
06
Very gently fold in the Parmesan cheese (if using), half of the chives, and any optional mix-ins of your choice using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
07
Spoon the whipped egg white mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating four even mounds about 4 inches across. Use the back of a spoon to make a well in the center of each mound (this is where the yolk will go).
08
Bake the egg white clouds in the preheated oven for 3 minutes to set the shapes.
09
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently slide a yolk into the well of each cloud. Return to the oven immediately.
10
Continue baking for 3-4 more minutes until the whites are lightly golden and the yolks are just set but still runny (or longer if you prefer firmer yolks).
11
Remove from the oven and transfer the cloud eggs to serving plates immediately, as they will deflate slightly as they cool.
12
Garnish with remaining chives, a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and any optional garnishes before serving with toast points or English muffins.
