We love a good baked egg recipe, but clouds eggs were the internet trend that changed our breakfast routine forever. Think actual clouds of heaven topped with a runny yolk, and you've got this stunning breakfast. Not only are they so fun to make, but set these down on the table, and your brunch will never be more Instagram worthy.
These eggs have chopped ham and Parmesan, but feel free to get creative with your favorite breakfast additions. Our favorite way to separate eggs is by simply cracking the egg and separating the yolk back and forth, but you can also use the water bottle hack: Crack an egg into a bowl and use an empty plastic bottle to suction the yolk inside. (It’s kinda crazy how well it works.)
