Ingredients & Equipment Used In This Recipe
While most ingredients can be bought in grocery stores, for your convenience, any specialized or notable ingredients and equipment needed for this recipe have been linked to Amazon or other stores if available online. Staple ingredients such as oil, salt, sugar, etc., aren’t always included here as you’re likely to have those in your kitchen. The complete list of ALL ingredients with measurements is found on the recipe card.
- Fresh Produce – Chives
- Protein – Large Eggs
- Dairy – Asiago Cheese. If you can find Asiago you could replace it with Pecorino Romano or Parmesan
Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. Please note, you can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).

Cloud Eggs with Asiago & Chives
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 3 oz 85g. Asiago cheese, finely grated, divided
- 3 Tbsp fresh chives finely chopped, divided
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 230°C/450°F/Gas 8. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Crack and separate the eggs, placing the whites in a large mixing bowl and reserving the yolks in another bowl. For best results, reserve the egg yolks in small, individual dishes rather than in one larger bowl.
- Season the egg whites with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Using a hand mixer or immersion blender, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula while blending to incorporate all of the egg white.
- Gently fold in two-thirds of the Asiago cheese and chives into the bowl, being careful not to deflate the egg whites in the process. Spoon the whipped egg white mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into four piles, leaving plenty of room between each mound. With the back of a spoon, create an indent in the center of each mound and place the baking sheet on the center rack in the preheated oven and bake for 3 minutes.
- After 3 minutes, remove from the oven and transfer reserved yolks into the indent of each mount. Sprinkle each mound with half of the remaining cheese and fresh chives and return to the oven. Bake another 3 minutes or until yolks are set and egg whites are golden brown.
- Remove the egg clouds from the oven and sprinkle with remaining cheese and chives and serve immediately.
