Egg Fast is a period of a few days, where all of your meals are based on dishes where the main ingredients are eggs. It suggests it helps kickstart your metabolism and gets you quicker into ketosis if you are aiming for that.
Eggs in Keto Lifestyle
We all love eggs. They are a big part of our Low Carb or Keto Lifestyle. Well, a bigger part. Or the biggest one?
I guess 99% of us can not live without eggs. We use them for almost everything. Cooking, Baking, you name it.
Every time I visit a market with my parents, I make sure I get at least 60 – 70 of fresh eggs from one of the best farmers, so it lasts me a bit until I visit again.
But to my surprise, in about two weeks, it is all gone.
Puffed Egg
My daughter enjoys them over breakfast almost every day. Especially when there are days she just needs something different. That is the exact time when those easy-to-make Keto Cloud Eggs come in handy.
But I am sure we are not alone.
There are weeks when she wants the same thing for her low-carb breakfast every day.
Then suddenly, out of the blue, she refuses it and does not even want to see it.
With eggs, there is no exception. Kids either want them or not anymore.
If I run out of ideas, eggs in clouds so far always worked. It takes a bit longer to prepare than a regular boiled egg, but my daughter says it tastes much better than any other egg variation. It is always a special treat, once on the table.
What are Cloud Eggs?
We have so many names for this perfect recipe: Cloud Eggs, Puffy Egg, Fluffy Egg, Egg Clouds, Egg Pillow, or Foamy Eggs.
Cloud Egg is a plain egg with few additional ingredients, just done slightly differently than you are used to. And immediately, the look is different.
Cloud Eggs are Beaten Cloudy Egg Whites stacked onto your baking sheet and baked for a few minutes.
Following comes the Egg yolk part. Once added and placed again into the oven, the egg yolk cooks only a bit and will give you the perfect soft texture.
Once cut through, you will have the yolk running through the whole dish. OMG. Just writing about it makes me so hungry.
Aim for a perfect egg inside and an egg experience.
Can you make it out of the pictures posted here?
What do Cloud Eggs taste like?
If you whisk just an egg white into an Egg Pillow and place it into the oven to bake, I would say it does not have any taste at all.
Do Cloud Eggs taste good?
It is kind of a fluffy egg but also tasteless. Therefore, the cheese and bacon I have added to our Cloud Egg Recipe come in handy.
Add a bit of salt and pepper to it, which brings the Cloudy egg white to a whole new level.
It gives that lovely fluffy taste, but with bacon and cheese aftertaste. As if you have eaten a very soft meringue but in a salty way.
Our Keto Cloud Egg Crisps Chips are based on this exact recipe and give you that similar Egg Clouds experience.
Egg Clouds Additions
With the basic recipe of only baked beaten eggs, there are other ingredients, which goes perfectly well with:
Add Grated Cheese, fresh chives, herbs, chopped meat, nutritional yeast, onion powder, spices, prosciutto, ham, and much more to make your experience every single day a bit different.
You can even sprinkle them with our Everything Bagels Seasoning.
Bacon and cheese?
By adding cheese and bacon to this dish, there is nothing else you can wish for.
An avocado?
No problem. Just add one around the egg as I did, and your WOW effect doubles or triples.
What to serve with Cloud Eggs?
As Cloud Eggs are one of the keto recipes, not only for breakfast, you can serve them throughout the whole day.
Add on top of the salad, steak, on top of an Egg Drop Soup or Ramen Chicken Shirataki Soup, make a sandwich with our Yogurt Chaffles.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKING THE BEST EVER KETO CLOUD EGGS RECIPE
First Step: Prepare Ingredients
First off, preheat your oven to 230 Celsius or 450 Fahrenheit and get all ingredients together.
Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to get the best stiff peak.
You can cook bacon in advance if you wish. I have not, as the bacon will slightly cook in the oven while baking the fluffy egg whites.
Second Step: Cloudy Egg Whites
Separate egg yolks from egg whites and place your egg whites into the container in which you can whisk it with either your hand whisk or hand mixer.
You can add a little bit of salt or black pepper at this stage.
Whisk your egg whites thoroughly until stiff peaks form.
Third Step: Bacon and Cheese
Once your egg whites are fluffy, add bacon and cheese, and using a spatula, gently fold both of the ingredients in.
Make sure they are spread evenly.
Fourth Step: Shape Egg Clouds and Bake
Using your spatula, start placing and shaping your egg pillows onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
As you see in the video, I have made the recipe with two eggs, and therefore I have made 2 Eggs in a cloud.
You can also choose to make one giant egg on a cloud and add two egg yolks into it later on.
While you’re shaping the egg whites, use a spoon to make a tiny space in the middle that we would use later on to pour the egg yolks. It is best to look at the video I have prepared for you.
Place in the oven and bake for three minutes
Fifth Step: Add Egg yolk inside an Egg Pillow
Take your egg pillows out of the oven and gently place egg yolks into the space in the middle of the cloud.
Place into the oven once again for another three minutes.
Sixth Step: Serve
Once your cloud eggs are baked, gently lift each of them and serve immediately using a crepes spatula and sprinkled with broccoli sprouts or granulated garlic.
Tips and Tricks:
- Egg White – make sure eggs are at room temperature for the best stiff peak
- Egg yolks – depending on how cooked you want to have your egg yolk, leave in the oven longer or shorter
- Bacon and cheese – fold into the puffy eggs gently to keep the stiff peak the strongest
- Silicone sheet – You can use a silicon sheet instead of parchment paper, which will help in sometimes cloud eggs being stuck on the parchment paper
- Size – as you see in the video and pictures, I have made the recipe using two eggs, and therefore I have made two egg clouds. You can also do the same or make one big cloud egg where you would shape two holes and add two egg yolks later on.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
To make an egg white for cloud eggs is pretty simple. The most important thing is to have your egg whites at room temperature.
Using a whisk, you have to make sure the egg whites are whisked thoroughly until a stiff peak.
You can store the cloud eggs in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days, but I suggest serving them immediately as egg whites, and egg yolks might slightly dry in the fridge later on.
I would not suggest freezing cloud eggs as the water will change the shape, and the taste of the unfrozen cloud eggs once served.

Dear Brittany,
Yes its one of the special ways how to make looks eggs appealing. I make this always when my daughter gets fed up with whatever I make for Breakfast. This one is always a winner.

Dear Gloryanna,
Yes you are right it is so unbelievable tasty.

Dear Vicky,
You should definitely try it. Its real delish.
Zuzana
i have never heard of this! I’m totally going to try it.
Dear Jessica,
Not so many people know about it and that it is possible to do.
Good luck with trying.
Zuzana
I first saw these cloud eggs on Instagram and would love to tackle this food trend. Though it takes a little time on cooking, compare to the regular scrambled eggs, but this is doable for me. This is an eggcellent way to start the day.
Dear Calleigh,
You are so right, this is not for a regular stressful mornings, but as a treat for a lovely weekend breakfast. You will see how it tastes and will do it again and again.
Zuzana
after a summer of working at camp, and too much carbs, I catn wait to start eating better this fall. im always lookng for variations on egg recipes! Ive never heard of this looks really cool – and easy!
Dear Harmony,
You will not regret it once you try. Its really easy to make and adds another variation of eggs for breakfast.
Zuzana
This is the first time I have heard about this. Definitely trying this recipe.
Dear Anna,
Try it, really
Zuzana
Just tried to make this and never got enough solid foam came out runny and never got solid enough.
Dear Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear that. Did you mix the egg whites into a stiff peak? Once you place it into the preheated oven, it should stay stiff and just bake. Check next time for the properly preheated oven and eggs beaten to a stiff peak.
Have a great day
Zuzana
Sorry to bother you with this question about the cloud egg. Is the bacon raw or cooked before you add it please? I can’t wait to try this! Thank you for the idea! I’ve just recently found your site and the recipes sound great! Excited to try many of them.
Teresa
Dear Teresa,
You can use both actually. I normally use raw as it does cook a bit. Hope you will have fun with more of our recipes.
Made this morning, I used my mixer for the whites the wand wasn’t powerful enough to get them to the cloud stage. Next time I will add seasoning just before popping in oven or immediately after bringing out. I believe the salt caused a breakdown in the white. However, we really enjoyed them & will make again. I added diced ham to a bed of fresh spinach.
Dear Mary, I am happy you enjoyed those super Eggs. We love them big time as well. But I normally add salt and they stay stiff pretty long. Maybe just a bit longer mixing needed for next time.
The texture turned out just right, light and fluffy just the way I like it. And I decided to add some pickles on the side it complemented the dish perfectly. So yum! Definitely a recipe worth trying for a healthy breakfast option!
Pickles needs to be always there.
Another bacon question – in your ingredients list you have ‘one strip of bacon’ – should it be cut up into little slices? Perhaps I need to watch the video but I can’t otherwise picture how to mix a slice of bacon in with the beaten egg whites!
Yes, you cut it into small pieces.
