Fluffy baked egg whites on toast topped with avocado roses, honey, and microgreens in a quick breakfast.

# What You Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 4 large eggs, separated

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

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Lightly toast sourdough slices or brush with olive oil and bake in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
03 - Separate egg whites into a large clean bowl and place yolks individually in small bowls.
04 - Whisk egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
05 - Spoon whipped egg whites into two fluffy mounds on the baking sheet, creating a small well in the center of each.
06 - Bake egg white mounds for 3 minutes.
07 - Gently place one yolk into each well and bake for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until whites are golden and yolks are set.
08 - Halve, peel, and thinly slice the avocado. Fan slices and roll gently into rose shapes, optionally brushing with lemon juice.
09 - Place each egg cloud on a toasted slice. Top with an avocado rose, drizzle honey, and garnish with microgreens.
10 - Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks elegant enough to impress guests but feels impossibly simple once you understand the technique.
  • The contrast between the crispy-edged clouds and the warm, runny yolk is genuinely addictive.
  • Avocado roses transform ordinary toast into something you'd see at a fancy brunch spot.
02 -
  • The entire success of this dish hinges on getting your egg whites completely free of yolk—even a speck of fat will prevent them from whipping into those dramatic peaks.
  • Don't whip the whites too far ahead of time; they'll start to separate and weep liquid if they sit around. Bake them within a few minutes of whipping.
  • The yolk needs to be barely set so it stays creamy in the middle, which means watching that second bake window carefully.
03 -
  • If you're making this for guests and feeling nervous, remember that the components are forgiving individually—the bread can be prepped, the avocado can be sliced ahead and dressed with lemon, and the whipping happens in minutes.
  • The oven timing is more flexible than it seems; if your clouds need an extra minute or two because your oven runs cool, they'll be fine, and the yolk will still have that creamy center you're after.
