Cloud eggs are the hottest instagram trend taking the brunch projector
While poached eggs have our heart - there is something about this perfectly translucent white disc being flat to reveal the most silent golden egg yolk. Well, this trend takes perfectly instocated poached eggs and makes fun of it - it's called cloud eggs.
We know, we know. The food trend game is tired. Sushi Donuts and Unicorn Frappuccino aside, who does not like brunch? This trend plays on the most decading brunch ingredient that has been remixed for centuries: eggs!

Yes, it looks like a part of Dr. Seuss combining a dish, but it's actually quite simple. The egg whites are separated from the yellow and whipped in a foam filled with peak before throwing yellow in the middle and cooking for 6 minutes maximum.
The result? A glutinous yellow engulfed in an inflated cloud and without weight of fluffy egg white that looks like a blue sky. They are beautiful and the instagrammists of 2017 are not the only ones to think it.
Apparently, these eggs were a delicacy in the 17th century and the chefs made them for guests filled with censions that were as fascinating by the result today!
They were called "snow eggs" instead of cloud eggs, obviously or "eggs in the snow", and the French have apparently killed the game for hundreds of years! Should have known - their chic radar is always kilometers in front of ours. We wonder who Columbus had this trend on IG!
Some cloud eggs are nestled in a more conventional cloud, while some have crisp bits and bruised. Do you prefer a softer bite or more of a crunch? DIY leaders are experimenting with all social media with all, bucket sausages in Guacamole and make us drool.
Fortunately, they are as tasty they are attractive (not sure if we can say the same for this unicorn frappuccino). Get ready for the quarrel with these shiny and slightly shiny fans, because once you have this on a torn yeast piece, you will defend it to death.
There is even a YouTube tutorial showing you how to do them. It's not too scary for amateur cooks - separated, whips blanks up to the farm, shape your cloud. Do you want to use them for your next brunch adventure and be the hostess with the most saint?
