‘Cloud eggs’ are the latest crime against breakfast

There were once fried eggs, scrambled eggs, poached eggs and deviled eggs, but cloud eggs exist in some dark limbo in between all of these things.

Its a simple concept really… Cloud eggs are made by separating the egg yolk from the white and whipping the latter to create a thick, fluffy consistency.

This white is then popped into the oven on a baking sheet for five minutes, before being taken out and the yolk put back on top of it.  It’s then put all back in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

The justification for this crime being that they look like little suns poking through a cloud.

Here’s how to create this breakfast treat!
