Cloud Toast Avocado Honey (Printable Version)

Fluffy baked egg whites on toasted sourdough, crowned with avocado roses, honey drizzle, and vibrant microgreens.

# 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

# Steps:

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 oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
03 - Separate eggs, placing whites in a large clean bowl and yolks each in individual small bowls.
04 - Using an electric mixer, whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form.
05 - Spoon beaten egg whites into two fluffy mounds on prepared baking sheet, creating a small well in the center of each.
06 - Bake egg white clouds for 3 minutes in preheated oven.
07 - Gently place one yolk into center of each cloud. Return to oven and bake 3 to 4 minutes until whites are golden and yolks just set.
08 - Halve avocado, remove pit and peel. Thinly slice each half, fan out slices, and gently roll into rose shapes. Optionally brush with lemon juice to prevent browning.
09 - Place each cloud egg on a toasted slice. Top with avocado rose, drizzle honey, and scatter microgreens. Season with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen but takes barely 25 minutes total.
  • The contrast of crispy toast, pillowy egg whites, and cool avocado actually tastes as good as it looks.
  • You can make it for one person or impress a small crowd—it scales effortlessly.
02 -
  • Room-temperature eggs separate easier than cold ones, and any yolk contamination means starting over—there's no fixing it mid-whisk.
  • The egg whites go from soft peaks to stiff peaks quickly; stop just when they look glossy and hold a point, before they turn grainy.
  • Serve immediately after assembling—the toast will soften and the avocado will warm, so timing is everything.
03 -
  • Separate eggs directly over the mixing bowl and use a separate bowl for each yolk to avoid any cross-contamination disasters.
  • If your avocado won't cooperate with the rose shape, just fan the slices and pile them on top—it still looks elegant and tastes exactly the same.
