Cloud Eggs
I cooked up an Instagram trend – Cloud Eggs
It looked spectacular, fancy, appetizing and these fluffy cloud eggs were all over Instagram. I have no idea where they came from, or who started the trend but it was hip, happening and all the food bloggers were posting tastefully taken photos of it. I was baited. On a whim I decided to whip these up and see if they were worth the hype. It made perfect sense because they were perfectly keto friendly.
Are they really worth the time and effort?
To be quite honest, they tasted good, but I would say it wasn’t worth all the effort separating and whipping egg whites, unless you are cooking to impress. There’s nothing really new about it; it’s essentially just a dressed up sunny side up egg. The combination of fresh parsley and parmesan does add a bit of refinement and adding some crispy fried bacon into the mix would bump up the flavour, but I found myself thinking I would rather just eat one of my cheese fried eggs instead.
But do give these cloud eggs a go if you find them interesting, and let me know how you liked them.
