How to Make Cloud Eggs

 How to Make Cloud Eggs  Cloud eggs are one of those breakfast dishes that look far more complicated than they really are. Made by whipping egg whites into a light, airy foam, shaping that foam into little nests, and then baking the yolks gently in the center, cloud eggs turn ordinary eggs into an impressive breakfast or brunch centerpiece. The secret is technique. Egg whites need to be separated carefully, whipped to the right consistency, and handled gently so the trapped air remains intact. A small amount of cream of tartar helps stabilize the foam, while ingredients such as Parmesan, crispy bacon, and fresh chives can turn the basic recipe into something savory and satisfying. ## Cloud Eggs: A Light, Fluffy Breakfast Cloud eggs are essentially baked eggs with a dramatic presentation. Instead of frying or scrambling the entire egg, you separate the white from the yolk. The white is whipped until it becomes thick and fluffy, then spooned onto a baking sheet and shaped into a...
