Cloud Eggs
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, or as needed
Method
- Preheat the oven to ~190 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner, or use non stick pan, and butter lightly.
- Crack 1 egg into a clean hand and separate carefully by letting the egg white drip down between your fingers into a large bowl. Reserve the yolk in a separate, smaller bowl. Repeat with second egg.
- Add squeeze of lemon juice into the egg whites, add salt, and whip until you have relatively firm, but not dry, peaks.
- Spoon onto the prepared baking sheet and shape as desired; make a small depression in the top centers using a spoon for the yolks.
- Bake in the center of the preheated oven until they just start to take on some golden color, 5 to 6 minutes. Add yolks and bake until yolks are heated through, but still runny, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve on butter toast.
Option
Fold some grated cheese into the whipped egg whites and make the nests a more cheesy structure!
