Have you ever seen Tasty Food’s recipe videos on your Facebook timeline? The BuzzFeed affiliate constantly feeds FB users with awesome quick and (seemingly) easy recipes for the most innovative dishes. Not to sound like every Instagram user but I am a serious foodie. Really, I read restaurant menus like literature, I get off to foodporndaily.com, I Google image search various food hybrids out of curiosity, I cook something new at least once a week, I fantasize about food all day every day. So you know I just had to try a recipe from one of Tasty’s latest videos.

Eggs in Clouds. WHAT!? Whipped egg whites, baked? Only 6 minutes to make?? Bacon is included?? Runny yolk?!

This combo was just so very new to me, and I’ve made a lot of things before. As intrigued as I was about giving this recipe a try, I was a little skeptical. From my cooking experience, measurements are never truly absolute (unless when it comes to baking — but even then there are times you have to guesstimate and adjust). Watching Tasty perfectly and quickly whip, mix, assemble and bake into perfection made me wonder if this was just a highly produced video where all the spills and additional fixing were edited out. I mean, it’s easier to film and say “bake for 3 minutes” rather than, “bake for 3 minutes, then realize one of the food items needs more time, so take out the cooked items and put the rest back in the oven.”

So I put Tasty’s recipe to the test! I followed their procedure exactly with the exception of a couple things. Was it as easy as it looked? Did cook time really only take 6 minutes? Let’s see.

Whipping egg whites was the longest and most grueling part. There is definitely a technique to whipping egg whites into firm peaks; you have to get your whisk at a good angle and whip air into the eggs. Allegedly this process should only take 1-2 minutes, but it took me like 6-7. Don’t be fooled by the fast-paced toe-tapping music. This shit is hard.

My egg white ingredients differed from the video’s. I used beef bacon, green onions, parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, and a little feta cheese.

The last thing I did differently was use foil paper instead of the parchment paper used in the video. I sprayed the foil with coconut oil. I placed down my egg white mixture and baked for 3 minutes.

After 3 minutes, I placed my egg yolks. Baked for another 3 minutes and….

One particular egg on a cloud was being a hating ass bitch. 😒

So cook time wise, Tasty passed. Now for the taste. I’ve never had baked whipped egg whites, so I was super excited to try. As I broke into that beautiful yolk and fluffy toasted cloud, I was hit with the aroma of that bacon and yummy cheese. The taste was even better! My foodie heart fluttered. First of all, the egg white mixture is packed with so much flavor. I put a little salt and pepper on my yolk before eating, but it really didn’t need it. Eggs in Clouds tastes like a well-seasoned fried egg.
