How to Make Eggs In A Cloud

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispness.
  3. Place the toasted bread slices on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Top each slice of bread with a slice of ham and a slice of cheese.
  5. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form. A pinch of salt will help stabilize the egg whites.
  6. Carefully spoon the egg whites onto each bread slice, creating a well in the center of each mound to hold the yolk.
  7. Gently crack one egg yolk into the well of each egg white mound.
  8. Season the egg whites and yolks lightly with salt and pepper.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and lightly golden, and the yolks are cooked to your preference (runny or slightly firm).
  10. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy!
