The cooking process explained

The beauty of viral cloud eggs in halloumi nests is in their simplicity and the magical transformation of ingredients. Start by preheating your oven and preparing your halloumi. While it bakes to create those lovely nests, you’ll whip your egg whites to lofty peaks—this step is key for that airy texture. Finally, you’ll carefully place the yolks on top to achieve that picture-perfect presentation. It’s an impressive dish, but the cooking method is straightforward enough for even novice cooks to tackle.

What you’ll need

Here’s your shopping list for creating these delectable cloud eggs:

• 8 oz halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 4 large eggs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon dried garlic flakes
• Pinch of salt
• Chopped chives or microgreens (optional)

If you’re looking to lower sodium, consider using less halloumi or mixing in some other cheeses. You can also swap out the eggs for egg whites if you’re aiming for a lighter version.
