Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large fresh eggs
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: chopped chives or parsley
  • Butter or cooking spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Separate 4 large eggs, placing the whites in a mixing bowl and keeping the yolks intact in separate small bowls or ramekins.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add a pinch of salt and continue whipping until stiff peaks appear, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Spoon the whipped egg whites onto the prepared baking sheet in four mounds, making a slight well in the center of each for the yolk.
  5. Bake the whites for about 3 minutes until the edges start to turn golden and set.
  6. Carefully add one yolk into each well of the baked whites. Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes, or until the yolks are just set but still runny inside.
  7. While the eggs bake, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lay in 6 slices of thick-cut bacon and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  8. Sprinkle the cloud eggs with freshly ground black pepper and optional herbs. Plate with the crispy bacon on the side and serve immediately.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better whipping. Ensure mixing bowl is grease-free to achieve stiff peaks. Watch the oven closely to avoid overbaking; yolks should wobble slightly when done. Bacon can be baked in the oven at 400°F for 12-15 minutes as an alternative to frying.
