Cloud Eggs

Submitted by Bonnie G #2

"An internet sensation and Hungry Girl site has an easy way to fix and only 2 weight watcher smart points. Here's what HG had to say: cloud eggs are super-fluffy pillows of egg whites baked with the yolks nestled on top. They're beautiful, delicious, and a fun change of pace if you're used to scrambles and hard-boiled eggs. We first tried baking them on a baking sheet but found the results fell flat. So we broke out a jumbo muffin pan, and the outcome was spectacular! Here's HG's super-easy, super-awesome recipe..."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Yields: 2 eggs
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 dash each salt and black pepper

• Optional seasoning

• everything bagel seasoning blend additional salt and black pepper (like the kind by Trader Joe's)

directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Spray 2 cups of a jumbo muffin pan (like this one) with nonstick spray. (If you don't have a jumbo muffin pan, use two small oven-safe bowls.).
3. Separate egg whites into a large bowl, and gently place yolks in a small bowl without breaking them.
4. With an electric mixer set to high speed, beat egg whites until fluffy and slightly stiff, about 4 minutes.
5. Divide egg whites between the two sprayed cups of the muffin pan.
6. Using the back of a spoon, create a small indentation in the center of each egg white. Gently place a yolk in each indentation.
7. Season with salt and pepper. Bake to your preference, 5 - 7 minutes (5 minutes for runnier yolks; 7 minutes for firmer ones).
