Looking for a fun and easy way to kick your brunch game up a notch?
You want Egg in a Cloud!
Try this simple and delicious method called Egg in a Cloud. The whites of the eggs are whipped to form soft, billowy “clouds” for the yokes and are baked at a high temperature until golden and cooked through. I incorporated some extra goodness into the whites before baking to make them the perfect perch for a hot, buttered piece of toast.

I wanted to make 4 for our household, so I started with 4 eggs. You will be separating the yolks from the whites, so you can do it the old-fashioned way, or you can use a handy dandy egg separator like mine.
It really is a cool device. Hang on the side of a bowl and crack away…
![Put each egg yoke in its own bowl, and egg white in another dish](https://californiagrown.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/DSC_1365.jpg)
Each yolk will need its own small bowl or ramekin, but all the whites can go into one large bowl.
![Beat egg whites until peaks form](https://californiagrown.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/DSC_1369.jpg)
Beat the whites with an electric whisk until stiff peaks form.
![Fold in chives and cheese into egg whites](https://californiagrown.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/DSC_1373.jpg)
Fold in chopped chives and shredded cheddar along with salt and pepper.

Now make the egg clouds:
Scoop the whites onto a parchment lined baking sheet, creating the “clouds” and push the center of each cloud down to make a well for the yolk.
![Bake egg whites in oven](https://californiagrown.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/DSC_1386.jpg)
Bake in a hot 450 F oven for 3 minutes.

Voila…. the egg clouds are just set, a little browned and ready for the yolk.
![Add egg yoke over baked egg whites and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes](https://californiagrown.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/DSC_1395.jpg)
Add the yolk and return the pan to the oven for an additional 3-4 minutes until set.
