Tom Daley’s cloud eggs

“Cloud eggs are one of my son Robbie’s favourite breakfast dishes. The best thing is the recipe requires minimal ingredients – it can be easily made as long as you have British Lion eggs in the fridge”

PREP
10 MINS
COOK
10 MINS
SERVES
4

Ingredients

  • 4 British Lion eggs, separated
  • 25g mature cheddar cheese, grated
  • 40g finely sliced cured ham, roughly chopped
  • small handful of parsley, roughly chopped
  • 4 slices of toasted sourdough, to serve

Method

1.  Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.

2.  Place the egg whites into a mixing bowl and whisk until stiff. Add the grated cheese and ham, then season and fold gently to combine.

3.  Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking tray creating four mounds. Using the back of a teaspoon, create a little dip in the centre of each (this is where you’re going to add the yolk).

4.  Bake for 4 mins. Remove from the oven, add the egg yolks to each mound and cook for a further 3 mins, until the yolks are just set. Remove from the oven, sprinkle over the parsley and enjoy with sourdough toast.
