INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Separate your eggs, put the egg whites in a large dry bowl. Carefully place the egg yolks in another bowl (you want don’t want the yolks to pop).
- Use a hand mixer (or stand mixer) to whip your egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Add the cheese, ham, and spices and gently fold into the egg whites.
- On a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, spray the paper with non-stick oil. Separate the egg white mixture into 6 equal portions on the pan then use a spoon to create a little well in the middle. You’ll add the yolk to this later.
- Bake the egg whites for 4 minutes and pull the pan out of the oven.
- Carefully transfer yolks into each well. Return pan to the oven for another 4-5 minutes.
- Once the cloud eggs are lightly browned, the yolks should still be runny.
- Garnish cloud eggs with some flake salt and dried chives (optional).

NOTES
1-If your bowl that you whip the egg whites in is not totally dry, the egg whites won’t whip.
2-You can use other meats if you don’t want to use ham, turkey our chicken would be great.
