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!

“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! 🙂
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 🙂
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!
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 🙂
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!
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!
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! 🙂
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! : )
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!!
This is what I imagine these rest of the world is eating while I am eating a granola bar on the way to work! I will have to try these on the weekend! They look to die for!
