Description

A delightful breakfast dish combining the light texture of cloud eggs with rich blue cheese and crispy bacon, perfect for brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 50g crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chives, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, keeping the yolks whole in separate bowls.
  3. Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of sea salt until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese and most of the crispy bacon into the whipped egg whites.
  5. Spoon the mixture onto the lined baking sheet in two equal mounds, creating a well in the center of each.
  6. Bake the egg whites for 3 minutes until lightly set.
  7. Carefully slide one yolk into each well of the baked egg whites.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the yolks are set but still runny.
  9. Top with reserved crumbled bacon, additional pepper, and fresh chives, then serve immediately.

Notes

Serve with buttery toast, fresh avocado, or a mixed green salad. Enjoy immediately for the best texture.
