Cloud eggs are a delicious and innovative way of enjoying eggs at any time of day. Keto cloud eggs are light and fluffy, with egg whites creating the ideal nest for a perfectly cooked egg yolk on top. Simple ingredients and a little effort are all that’s needed to whip up these cloud eggs, and it will likely be your go-to keto breakfast once you’ve tasted a bite!

Our recipe takes just 20 minutes from the first egg being cracked to all four nests being served up. This may be longer than cooking standard sunny-side-up or hard-boiled eggs, but it’s such an imaginative way of recreating a store cupboard staple. Don’t be afraid to play with the flavor combinations of these keto cloud eggs, too, as this is a great recipe to liven up with some meat, cheese, or even sautéed veggies.

These eggs are the ideal component of a keto breakfast, and honestly, this is one of the best ways to eat eggs! Light, airy, but indulgent, keto cloud eggs taste like a treat, but with minimal carbohydrates. Once removed from the oven, the eggs may deflate slightly, so it’s best to dive in when fresh from the oven. Even if the cloud eggs lose a little fluffiness from oven to table, the flavor and variety of textures will remain.

Ingredients

• Eggs: There must be hundreds of uses for the humble egg, and in our keto cloud eggs recipe, they are given a whimsical twist. Each full egg represents one cloud egg, and both the white and yolk are needed to achieve the light and silky texture. Organic eggs are a great choice as they come from hens who have a varied diet, typically leading to better-tasting eggs.
• Salt And Pepper: No savory recipe would be complete without a little classic seasoning in the form of salt and pepper. Seasoning food is personal to each palate, so when adding a sprinkle of each to the cloud eggs, season to taste.
• Optional Herbs: Keto cloud eggs are perfect just as they are, but there’s no harm in adding a garnish for a pop of color, texture, and flavor! Finely chopped fresh chives, dill, or parsley are all great matches for the eggs, so play around and explore some different herby flavor combinations.

How To Make Keto Cloud Eggs

A handful of simple ingredients and 20 minutes are all it takes to create the most decadent, airy keto cloud eggs. An electric mixer makes things easier and cuts the time down even more, but whisking by hand can create the same results with some elbow grease!

Step one: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with baking paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step two: Crack open the eggs, separating the white from the yolks. Take care to ensure there’s no shell in the eggs or any yolk mixed in with the whites.

Step three: Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This can also be done by hand in a mixing bowl with a hand whisk.

Step four: Gently fold salt and pepper into the eggs before spooning the whipped whites onto the baking sheet, creating soft, fluffy clouds. Create a well in the middle of each cloud using the back of a spoon.

Step five: Place the eggs into the oven for 5-7 minutes or until the whites have transformed into lightly golden nests.

Step six: Take the baking sheet out of the oven and place an egg yolk into each well. Be careful only to put the yolk into the center, as this will have the best cloud egg effect.

Step seven: Return the eggs to the oven for 3-4 minutes until the yolks are just set. Then, take the tray out of the oven and allow the eggs to cool for a minute or so.

Step eight: Garnish the cloud eggs with fresh herbs and serve them while they are warm and aerated, as they will deflate over time.

Tips And Variations

Keto Cloud Eggs With Chilli: Having fun in the kitchen is one of the best ways to make friends with cooking, and adding a little heat to recipes keeps your tastebuds on their toes, too! After gently placing an egg yolk in the center of the egg white nests, sprinkle over some dried chili flakes. Once the yolks have set and the keto cloud eggs are complete, you can enjoy the fiery, scarlet-speckled yolk.

Keto Cloud Eggs With Cheese And Bacon: Finely chopping cooked bacon and grating some cheese into the egg white nests is a fantastic way of adding flavor, texture, and color to the cloud eggs. Even a little cheese grated over the egg yolk before the eggs are returned to the oven makes for a delicious alternative way of enjoying our recipe.

Stovetop Keto Cloud Eggs: Baking the cloud eggs in the oven is the best way to achieve a light and fluffy texture, but it’s possible to achieve similar results on the stove if you can’t use an oven. Separate the eggs, whisk the whites as normal, and then place the nests in an oiled pan on the stove. Cover the eggs with a lid and allow them to cook for a few minutes before adding the egg yolk to the center of each nest. Cover again until the yolk is set, and enjoy!
