Fall has officially started, which means that the holiday season it just around the corner. Now, I don’t know about you, but I am thinking up all the goodies I am going to make for Thanksgiving and Christmas. You’re probably thinking, oh no, she is probably one of those people that gets all her shopping done for the holidays in September and October. No way! But you have to admit that would be nice! I am, however, a person that loves looking through magazines and cookbooks, not to mention asking friends for their special recipes, and making a list of everything I want to try for the influx of family and friends.
My father-in-law had the secret to cooking. He would tell you the best time to try out a new recipe is when company comes. Why you ask? Well, that way if the recipe is delicious you’ll get rave reviews and if it’s not then they will help you eat it up. Lol Now, I am not quite that brave since I do like to try the dish before serving it to guests, so I decided to give my new cloud recipe a shot today.
I’ve seen many pictures of cloud eggs in magazines and online and they’ve always looked so pretty. They remind me of a cross between a poached egg, an over easy egg and a soufflé. So I decided to see how easy they would be to make for, say, Christmas morning. And let me tell you, they are super easy and came out delicious! Mine was a little more work since I made 3 different versions but if you choose just one they can be whipped up (pardon the pun) in no time.
The 3 versions cover a broad spectrum of tastes from a standard breakfast pairing to an eye-opening spicy version to a vegetarian option. My first version involved the typical standard breakfast ingredients so I laid it on top of a toasted English muffins. The second was a spicy Cajun version which seemed to call for a crispy Southwestern potato pancake and the third, a lighter and healthier vegetarian option to which I added a base of greens. Whichever one you choose you won’t be sorry.
Just look at how delicious that looks! Doesn’t it make you want one right now?
By the way, you can also top these little beauties with an easy Hollandaise Sauce to serve on the side.
