Eggs in Clouds

I saw my friend Veronica making this beautiful breakfast with her new air fryer two days ago and I couldn’t wait to try it! I don’t have an air fryer but was able to find some recipes that utilized the oven. So the next morning I just made these fluffy clouds for my family. The yolk was gooey and runny when you poked into it (the ones that my kids had were baked a little bit longer). The white was as fluffy as marshmallows. I instantly fell in love with this new method of preparing eggs. Most importantly not even a single drop of oil was required…a lot healthier than fried or scrambled eggs.

EC前天看見好友Veronica用新買的氣炸鍋弄了這個漂亮的早餐，自己也急不及待一試！EC家中沒有氣炸鍋，所以上網搜尋了一些焗爐食譜，EC及家人隔天的早餐便是每人一朶軟綿綿的雲彩。叉子刺入半熟的蛋黃時蛋汁會流出(EC做給小孩子吃時會焗耐一些)，蛋白咬下去時鬆鬆軟軟的好像在吃棉花糖，EC很喜愛這個新的煮蛋方法，最重要的是連一滴油也不用加，絕對比煎蛋或炒蛋來得健康！

Eggs in Clouds

Serves 4 四人份量

Ingredients

4 large eggs
1/4 cup shredded cheese (I use a mixture of Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese)
Salt, pepper and parsley flakes, to taste

Notes: The eggs I use are about 50 g each without shells.

材料

大蛋 四隻
芝士碎(EC用Cheddar及Mozzarella芝士) 1/4杯
鹽、黑胡椒碎及parsley碎 各適量

註：EC用的大蛋每隻淨重約50克

Directions 做法

Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
焗爐預熱450°F/230°C，焗盤內鋪上牛油紙或矽膠墊。

Separate the eggs by placing the whites in a clean mixing bowl and the yolks in another bowl.
分開蛋黃及蛋白，將蛋白放在清潔的鋼盆中，蛋黃用小碗盛起。

With a hand mixer beat the whites and a pinch of salt together until stiff peaks form. Fold in the shredded cheese with a spatula.
蛋白加少許鹽用電動打蛋器打發至企身，加入芝士碎輕手用膠刮拌勻。

Spoon the whites onto the lined baking sheet and make 4 big mounds. Make a well in the center of each “cloud” with the back of a spoon.
將蛋白霜分四份放到焗盤上，用湯匙在中央輕壓出凹洞。

Bake for 3 minutes. Remove from oven and drop a yolk into each well. Sprinkle some more shredded cheese on top and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes until slightly golden on top and the yolks are set (if you don’t want runny yolks you will need to bake a bit longer). Remove from oven.
放入焗爐3分鐘後取出，將蛋黃逐一放入凹洞中，灑上少許芝士碎後放回焗爐約3至5分鐘至表面金黃、蛋黃剛凝固後便可取出(想蛋黃熟一點可焗耐些)。

Season with freshly ground pepper and parsley flakes. Serve immediately.
洒上parsley碎及黑胡椒碎調味即成！

Our breakfast for Sunday morning.
EC與家人星期天的早餐。

This was what my friend Veron made with her new air fryer. She named it 藍天白雲(literally blue sky and white cloud). I was attracted to it right away.
這是EC好友Veron用氣炸鍋做的作品–藍天白雲。EC初見便己被深深吸引了！
