Description
Cloud eggs blue cheese bacon are a fluffy and flavorful brunch dish featuring whipped egg whites, creamy blue cheese, and crispy bacon, creating a delightful combination.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks, keeping yolks whole and placing each into a small separate bowl.
- In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the crumbled blue cheese and most of the crumbled bacon into the whipped egg whites, saving a portion of bacon for topping.
- Spoon the egg white mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in two equal mounds. Create a shallow well in the center of each using the spoon’s back.
- Bake the egg whites for 3 minutes until lightly set.
- Carefully slide one yolk into the well of each baked egg white cloud.
- Return to the oven and bake an additional 3–4 minutes, until the yolks are just set but remain runny.
- Remove from the oven. Top with reserved bacon, freshly ground black pepper, and chives. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg whites.
- This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven for optimal fluffiness.
- Combine with a light salad for a complete meal.
