Preparation of the cloud egg

1. Open the eggs by separating the whites from the yolks. It is important that you store the egg yolks in separate bowls or glasses, and they must absolutely remain intact.

2. Pour all the egg whites into a bowl, add a very small pinch of salt and whip them until stiff.

3. Take a baking tray and cover it with baking paper. Using a spoon, form four clouds on the baking tray with the whipped egg whites.

4. With the back of the same spoon, make a depression in the center of each cloud, a sort of nest to accommodate the yolk. Very carefully, gently pour the egg yolks into each of the nests .
5. Lightly salt the egg whites and sprinkle a pinch of pepper on the yolks.

6. Cut the four thin slices of homemade bread in half, they must have a maximum thickness of one centimeter and place them on the baking tray (you can also add a slice of cheddar or other cheese to the bread if you like).
7. Place in a preheated oven at 180° C and leave for five minutes.

8. Remove from the oven and, always carefully, place the clouds on the toasted bread and on the serving plates and serve.
