More breakfast food. That is unless you eat with me in my home, then this Eggs in Cloud can be consumed for breakfast, brunch, linner or brinner. Can you tell I really like eggs, especially the drippy kind?
These Eggs in Cloud were completely new to me until I saw them at Rachel Ray’s site. I knew I had to make them.
And you should too, here’s why:
- Only four ingredients
- Easy to make
- Comes together in just 15 minutes
- Great breakfast for all of us who have kiddos in school for the exact reason #2 & 3 point out
- Actually great for anyone who hardly has time to make breakfast
- High in protein and full of flavor
- Your belly will thank you
- Your kids will thank you
- Skipping breakfast is bad for your body (according to my mom who will swear to this and probably some doctors who won’t swear to this for fear of being sued since their lack of professional research prevents them from doing so)
- Lastly, because you can still have your Cap’n Crunch after this
If anyone has any other reasons they would like to add to this list, please share it with rest of us in the comment section. For now, here’s your recipe—get to it!

More breakfast food. That is unless you eat with me in my home, then this Eggs in Cloud can be consumed for breakfast, brunch, linner …
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 4 pieces pancetta, browned, drained and crumbled
- 3 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup shredded or grated cheese of choice (i used a combination of grated parmesan and shredded Mexican cheese
Instructions
- Heat oven 450 degrees F. Line bakesheet with parchment. Add the egg whites to a bowl and beat until stiff peaks form (either by hand or with stand mixer or hand mixer). Gently fold in pancetta, cheese and green onions.
- Use an ice cream scoop or spoon and drop egg white mixture onto parchment sheet in four equal portions. Create a well and bake for 2- 3 minutes or until browned. Remove from oven and carefully drop yolk into the well. Return to the oven and bake for 2-3 minutes. Keep a watchful eye on the yolk as it turns from soft cooked to hard yolk very quickly. Remove from oven and setrve immediately.
This looks amazing Matt – I’ve been intrigued by this recipe before, but I love your addition of pancetta for that great smoky flavour!
Thanks Millie, it’s so easy too!
I’ve never heard of Egg in Cloud before either, but where have I been!? Cool concept plus I love a drippy egg.
Thanks Bri! Oh you’ve got to try this, so incredibly simple too
“Lastly, because you can still have your Cap’n Crunch after this” That sold me.
Just kidding. The runny yolk thing gets me e’rytimeee. But,that helped.
I eat eggs every single day, so I MUST try these! Pinned! 🙂
I admit I have a little box on top of my fridge:) Thanks Taylor!
These are so fun! I’m all about anything with pancetta in it. 😉
Thanks so much Rachel!
I could eat this every day
Thanks Jennifer! Me too:)
I would eat this any day, any time. Eggs and all breakfast food in general are anytime foods for me. I love them!
Thanks Tieghan!!
HA, you can still have your cap’n crunch after. I mean, if you say so! I love rachael ray! Awesome it was inspired by her…never heard of eggs in a cloud. NEED to try! Thanks Matt 🙂
You do need to try this one for sure Kelly!
Wow – never heard of eggs in a cloud before. Love this idea. Way better than being a short order cook at the skillet (I would know, I used to work the egg station during weekend brunch at a French Restaurant!). Thanks for sharing, Matt!
Thanks Liz, you would love this!
I love this. I will eat anything that involves eggs and pancetta. 🙂
Me too Michelle, thanks!
This is such an incredible way of doing eggs. I have not see it on RR site yet. If I had pancetta I would make them for brunch today. I have a full house of guys that are still asleep and will be hungry when they wake up today. Have a wonderful day Matt 🙂
And they will wake up starving, right? Love that! Thanks Helene and have a great week!
Eggs in a cloud. . love this, Matt. And I didn’t need a long list of why I needed to try this recipe. That last photo did it all, yo. Delicious!
Ha! Thanks so much Alice!
I’m making this for breakfast tomorrow, it looks so legit!
Too legit Mike:) Thanks!

Yes you do, thanks Karly!
So easy and looks so yummy!
Thanks Rina!

Thanks Beth!
Wow, I’ve never heard of these before, thank you for enlightening me, Matt (: Haha, brinner is wayyy to real in college…these look like such a great late night/early morning snack!
Nothing beats brinner! Thanks Caroline!
This is pretty much the tastiest thing I have seen all day! I think I will make a veggie version of this for dinner tonight:) YUM!
Thanks so much Meg!
These look and sound fantastic, it’s genius! I also love your vocabulary of “can be consumed for breakfast, brunch, linner or brinner” because eggs ARE good anytime!
Absolutely, thanks Kevin!
What a fun breakfast idea, and only 4 ingredients is always a winner!
Thanks Laura!
What a fun breakfast idea! I’ve seen a million “eggs in a basket” recipes where the egg is baked in a hole in a piece of bread, but I’ve never seen this cloud version. I could eat breakfast for every meal of the day, so I’m definitely going to have to try these out! 🙂
Thanks so much Beth!
You are such a genius! This breakfast is just so fun!
You are too sweet, thank you Jocelyn!
This is such a cool post! I remember seeing this dish in one of my mom’s cookbooks when I was little (I had little budding cook’s aspirations even as a little one). Such a nostalgic kind of dish. Eggs are always a good idea! : )
Thanks so much Crystal!
Trying these tonight..breakfast for dinner 🙂
Awesome, let me know how it goes!
These look so great! I’ve been meaning to switch up my breakfast lately and these look like the perfect thing to spice up my mornings!
Thanks so much Graham!
So. I saw these on Instagram the other day and um, I drooled, and um, made ’em for Brinner! LOVED IT!
That’s so awesome, love hearing that Kate!
There are very few things I like more than drippy, yummy eggs and breakfast for any meal of the day (cheese and bacon being two of them). These look amazing, please come cook us breakfast. And I love #9 and 10 on your list, Matt. LOL Pinned!!
Thanks so much Claire!
