Chef John's Cloud Eggs Recipe

Ingredients

2 large eggs

¼ teaspoon white vinegar

1 pinch salt

1 teaspoon unsalted butter

or as needed

Everyday Cooking

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®) and butter lightly.

Step 2

Crack 1 egg into a clean hand and then separate carefully by letting the egg white drip down between your fingers into a large bowl. Reserve the yolk in a separate smaller bowl. Repeat with second egg.

Step 3

Pour vinegar into the egg whites add salt and whip with a whisk until we have relatively firm but not dry peaks.

Step 4

Spoon onto the prepared baking sheet making sure they are not too wide as we want some height here. Shape as desired and make a small depression in the top centers using a spoon for yolks.

Step 5

Bake in center of the preheated oven until they just start to take on some golden color 5 to 6 minutes. Add yolks and bake until yolks are heated through but still runny 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve on butter toast.
