Cloud Toast with Avocado Honey (Printable Version)

Light baked egg white clouds sit on toasted sourdough, adorned with silky avocado slices, honey, and microgreens.

# What You Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 4 large eggs, separated

→ Bread

02 - 2 thick slices sourdough bread

→ Toppings

03 - 1 ripe avocado
04 - 2 teaspoons honey
05 - Small handful microgreens
06 - Flaky sea salt, to taste
07 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Optional

08 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
09 - Olive oil, for brushing bread

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Lightly toast the sourdough slices or brush with olive oil and toast in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes; set aside.
03 - Separate egg whites into a large clean bowl and place yolks each in separate small bowls.
04 - Whisk the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
05 - Spoon the beaten egg whites into two fluffy mounds on the baking sheet, creating a small well in the center of each.
06 - Bake the egg white clouds for 3 minutes.
07 - Gently place one yolk into each well, then return to the oven and bake for 3 to 4 minutes until whites are golden and yolks just set.
08 - Halve the avocado, remove the pit and peel, thinly slice each half, fan slices, and gently roll into rose shapes; brush with lemon juice if desired.
09 - Place each egg cloud on a slice of toast, top with an avocado rose, drizzle honey over, add microgreens, and season with flaky sea salt and black pepper; serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks restaurant-worthy but takes less time than scrolling through your phone.
  • The contrast between the cloud-soft egg whites and creamy avocado is absolutely addictive.
  • You get to use every part of the egg, which feels satisfying in a way plain scrambled eggs never will.
02 -
  • The bowl you beat the egg whites in must be absolutely clean and grease-free; even a hint of yolk or oil will keep them from reaching their full cloud-like potential.
  • Don't over-bake the yolks—they should be just set on the outside but still have that silky liquid center that makes you close your eyes.
  • Timing is everything with avocado; have it sliced and ready to go before you pull the clouds from the oven.
03 -
  • Don't let the egg whites sit too long after beating—they'll deflate and lose their structure, so have your baking sheet ready to go.
  • If your avocado is on the firmer side, let it sit at room temperature for a few hours or even overnight; it'll slice cleaner and taste richer.
