# Directions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Separate the 4 eggs, placing whites in one large, clean bowl and yolks in separate small bowls.
03 - Add cream of tartar and a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Using an electric mixer, beat the whites until stiff peaks form.
04 - Gently fold in black pepper and Parmesan cheese (if using).
05 - Spoon the whipped egg whites onto the prepared baking sheet in 4 mounds. Use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center of each mound.
06 - Bake for 5 minutes, then carefully add one yolk into each well. Return to oven and bake for another 4-5 minutes, or until the whites are set and lightly golden.
07 - Bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer. Add vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
08 - Top each cloud bread with avocado slices and a poached egg. Season with salt, pepper, and optional garnishes.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The dramatic puff of the egg whites as they bake will make you feel like youre performing kitchen magic every single time.
  • Each bite delivers this incredible contrast between the airy cloud bread, buttery avocado and that perfect moment when the poached egg yolk breaks.
02 -
  • If your egg whites deflate when folding in other ingredients, youre probably being too rough – use a large spatula and fold with a light hand using an under-and-over motion.
  • The cloud bread is done when it feels firm to the touch and has very slight golden edges – even one minute too long can make them dry out.
03 -
  • For the fluffiest clouds, use eggs that are at least a week old, as the whites whip better than super-fresh ones.
  • Create a template by drawing 4-inch circles on the parchment paper, then flip it over to use as a guide for perfectly uniform cloud bread.
