Instructions
-
Prepare the Egg Whites: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, vigorously beat the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks, creating a fluffy and airy texture. Once achieved, set aside.
-
-
Mix Tuna and Cheese: In another bowl, combine the canned tuna, grated cheese, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated and flavorful.
-
Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the tuna and cheese mixture. Be careful to maintain the airy texture of the egg whites, as this will give your cloud bread its characteristic lightness.
-
Shape the Cloud Bread: Divide the mixture into three equal portions. On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, shape each portion into a round form, creating a slight indentation in the center to hold the egg yolk later.
-
Bake the Cloud Bread: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 5 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and set.
-
Add Egg Yolks: Carefully remove the cloud bread from the oven. Gently place the reserved egg yolks into the center of each cloud shape.
-
Final Baking: Sprinkle additional grated cheese, black pepper, and oregano over the top. Return to the oven for an additional baking time that suits your preference—about 5-10 minutes—depending on whether you like your egg yolks runny or fully cooked.
-
Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Enjoy your Cloud Tuna & Egg immediately, savoring the fluffy texture and delicious flavors!
