Cloud Toast with Avocado Honey (Printable)

Light, fluffy egg whites baked and served on toasted sourdough with avocado and honey accents.

# What You'll 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 (to prevent avocado browning)
09 - Olive oil, for brushing bread

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Toast sourdough slices lightly 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 a separate small bowl.
04 - Using an electric mixer, whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form.
05 - Spoon beaten egg whites into two fluffy mounds on the baking sheet, creating a small well at the center of each.
06 - Bake egg white clouds for 3 minutes in the preheated oven.
07 - Gently place one yolk into each cloud well, then bake an additional 3 to 4 minutes until whites are golden and yolks just set.
08 - Halve, pit, and peel the avocado; thinly slice each half, fan out slices, and coalesce into rose shapes, optionally brushing with lemon juice.
09 - Place each baked cloud egg on a toasted slice, top with an avocado rose, drizzle with honey, and garnish with microgreens.
10 - Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper; serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It looks like restaurant-quality plating but actually takes less time than a shower.
  • The egg whites are so airy they practically melt on your tongue, while the yolk stays luxuriously runny.
  • You get to make avocado roses, which feels fancy but is honestly just slicing and rolling.
02 -
  • Room-temperature eggs are non-negotiable—cold egg whites simply will not whip into proper peaks, no matter how long you beat them.
  • Don't skip the parchment paper; bare baking sheets make the whole thing stick and your clouds will shatter when you try to transfer them.
  • The yolk needs to go in after the first 3-minute bake, not before, or it'll overcook and lose that precious runny center.
03 -
  • Make sure your mixing bowl and beaters are completely clean and grease-free, or your egg whites will refuse to whip—even a speck matters.
  • If your avocado starts to brown before you serve, the small brush of lemon juice really does make a difference, both for looks and flavor.
