Why this works

Cloud Toast 2.0 works because it’s both nutritionally dense and visually striking. By whipping egg whites into stiff peaks, you build a protein-rich foam that bakes into a structure both airy and satisfying. Topping it with avocado provides healthy fats, honey adds natural sweetness, and microgreens bring freshness plus phytonutrients.

  • Egg protein network: Whipped whites form stable foams when baked gently.
  • Flavor balance: Creamy avocado + sweet honey = perfect sweet–savory contrast.
  • Visual impact: Instagram-worthy avocado roses elevate simple eggs.
  • Efficiency: Only 15 minutes total cook time, making it a weekday-friendly dish.

Ingredients & substitutions

  • Eggs: 3 large eggs, whites separated from yolks. Pasteurized carton whites also work.
  • Bread: Whole-grain or sourdough slices. Keto bread for low-carb.
  • Avocado: Ripe, sliced into thin ribbons to form a rose. Guacamole dollops also work.
  • Honey: A drizzle for contrast. Maple syrup for vegan swap.
  • Microgreens: Arugula or radish sprouts; baby spinach or parsley for budget-friendly.
  • Optional: Everything bagel seasoning, chili flakes, or grated Parmesan.

Step-by-step (6 steps)

  1. Prep oven: Heat to 350°F / 175°C. Line a tray with parchment.
  2. Whip whites: Separate yolks carefully. Beat whites to glossy stiff peaks.
  3. Shape clouds: Spoon whites onto bread slices, making small nests.
  4. Bake: Bake 8–10 min until golden. If desired, add yolk in the last 2 min for a molten center.
  5. Garnish: Top each with avocado rose, honey drizzle, and microgreens.
  6. Serve: Enjoy immediately with coffee or tea.

Variations / Flavors

  • Keto cloud toast: Skip bread or use almond-flour toast.
  • Savory version: Add Parmesan and chili flakes before baking.
  • Sweet version: Top with strawberries and maple syrup instead of avocado/honey.
  • High-protein boost: Serve with cottage cheese or Greek yogurt on the side.

Serving ideas

Cloud Toast 2.0 pairs beautifully with:

  • Fresh fruit bowls and coffee for brunch.
  • As a side to Green Goddess Salad for a high-protein lunch.
  • On its own as a 15-minute weekday breakfast.

Pro tips & troubleshooting

  • Deflated whites? Ensure bowl is grease-free and add cream of tartar for stability.
  • Too dry? Bake less, aim for just-golden peaks.
  • Avocado rose collapsing? Use firm-but-ripe avocado and thin slices.
  • No microgreens? Top with herbs or even spinach ribbons.

Make-ahead & storage

  • Best fresh: Cloud Toast is meant to be enjoyed right away.
  • Refrigeration: Store plain baked egg clouds (without toppings) for 1 day; reheat gently in oven.
  • Avocado: Slice fresh before serving to avoid browning.
