Cloud Eggs

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover a baking sheet with a silicone mat and grease it lightly with butter.

2. 2

   Crack the eggs, separating the whites into a large mixing bowl and keeping each yolk in its own small bowl.

3. 3

   Pour the vinegar over the egg whites, season with salt, and beat with a whisk until firm but still moist peaks form.

4. 4

   Scoop the whipped whites onto the prepared baking sheet, mounding them into cloud-like shapes with some height. Press a shallow indent into the center of each mound with the back of a spoon.

5. 5

   Place in the center rack of the oven and bake until the whites begin to turn lightly golden, about 5 to 6 minutes. Gently drop a yolk into each hollow and return to the oven for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the yolks are warmed through but still soft.
