If you’re a fan of low-carb or Keto-style recipes, then you’re probably familiar with Cloud Bread- the light-as-air and oh-so-flavorful “bread” created with egg whites.
Now there’s a new wave of recipes featuring protein-rich eggs- and this one doesn’t waste the yolks! Meet Cloud Eggs, these power-packed gems taking breakfast by storm. Endlessly customizable, they can be seasoned with a ton of herbs and spices, mixed with hard cheeses and meats, and topped with generous sprinklings of pepper, salt, and fresh herbs.
They are quick, crowd-friendly, and can be made in just a matter of minutes (especially if you do a little prep ahead of time). They’re perfect for brunch, lunch, or any Lean and Green Meal!
Happy Cooking~

Ingredients
- 6 whole eggs, whites and yolks separated
- 2 T grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Stacey Hawkins Tuscan Fantasy Seasoning (or just about any other seasoning, SH or otherwise!)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Preheat oven to 450° F.
Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat (or parchment paper) and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Separate the egg whites and yolks. I find it easier to put each yolk in a separate container, so you can “slip” them into the whites later. You can also put them in one bowl and carefully spoon them out one by one in the next step.
Using an electric mixer, whip the whites into stiff peaks for about 3 minutes.
Gently fold the Parmesan cheese and SH Tuscan Fantasy Seasoning into the egg whites using a spatula.
Spoon the egg white mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into 6 mounds.
Using the back side of a large tablespoon, gently indent the centers to form nests for the egg yolks.
If you’re making these for a crowd, you can stop here and refrigerate the cookie sheets for up to one hour. You may need to bake them slightly longer, as it will take time to warm up the cookie sheets. Keep an eye on them so they do not overbake.
Bake in the oven until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Remove the clouds from the oven and gently add one yolk into the center of each puff.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, or better yet, give them a pinch of Stacey Hawkins Dash of Desperation Seasoning to make them WOW.
Bake until the yolks are set, about 3 minutes more. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve hot.
