Cloud Toast with Avocado Honey (Printer View)

Pillowy baked egg whites sit on toast topped with creamy avocado, honey, and microgreens for a vibrant breakfast.

# What you'll need:

→ Eggs

01 - 4 large eggs, separated

→ Bread

02 - 2 thick slices sourdough bread

→ Toppings

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

08 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice (to prevent avocado browning)
09 - Olive oil, for brushing bread

# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Lightly toast sourdough slices or brush with olive oil and toast in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
03 - Separate egg whites into a large clean bowl and place each yolk into separate small bowls.
04 - Using an electric mixer, whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form.
05 - Spoon beaten egg whites into two fluffy mounds on the prepared baking sheet, creating a small well in the center of each.
06 - Bake egg white clouds for 3 minutes.
07 - Gently place one egg yolk into each well. Return to oven and bake an additional 3 to 4 minutes until whites are golden and yolks are just set.
08 - Halve avocado, remove pit and peel. Thinly slice each half, fan out slices and roll gently into rose shapes. Optionally brush with lemon juice.
09 - Place each egg cloud on a toast slice. Top with avocado rose, drizzle honey, and add microgreens.
10 - Sprinkle flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The texture contrast alone will ruin regular toast for you forever, and I mean that in the best way
  • It transforms breakfast into something that feels like a weekend treat even on a Tuesday
  • The honey cuts through the rich avocado and savory egg whites in a way you did not know you needed
02 -
  • Any grease or egg yolk in your whites will prevent them from whipping properly, so wipe your bowl with vinegar first
  • The egg clouds continue cooking slightly after leaving the oven, so pull them when the yolks look slightly underdone
  • Avocado roses take practice and your first attempt might look like a salad, but they will still taste incredible
03 -
  • Whisking egg whites by hand is a workout but absolutely doable if you do not have an electric mixer
  • Brushing avocado slices with lemon juice keeps them bright green if you need to prep them in advance
  • Gluten free bread works perfectly here if you choose a sturdy thick cut variety
