False. It's very simple and fast.

Currently, cloud egg is one of the most popular dishes, but its origin dates back to the past. Certainly, cloud egg got their start in 17th-century France.
The article references the recipe Oeufs à la Neige (eggs in snow), which appeared in Le Cuisinier François, 1651.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• salt
• lemon juice
• pepper
• Parsley

Instructions

• Crack your egg and separate the yolk from the white
• Put the yolk in a small bowl
• 2. Add a pinch of salt and lemon to the white.
• 3. Whip the white until stiff peaks.
• 4. Coat a pan that can withstand high non-stick temperatures with parchment paper.
• 5. Spoon the mixture of egg whites on the pan, forming a pile: they look like nests right?
• 6. Cook until slightly golden.
• 7. Form a furrow in the center of the heap and place a yolk gently over the center of the cloud, cook again.
• 8. Add pepper and cook the egg clouds in a preheated oven at 356°F for 4-5 minutes
• 9. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

• Sprinkle the pan with water before coating with the cast oven: so the baking paper adheres.
•  Perfectly to the pan and does not have to use oil or extra fat.
• Do you know how I separate the eggs? With an empty bottle of water. It's an incredible technique and works well.
• For whites, the egg white uses an electric mixer or a manual too. Start at low speed and then slowly increasing at high speed.
• To assemble the white, add the lemon: it will prevent the fluffy from deflating.
• You can customize the recipe by adding other ingredients such as tomatoes, bacon, mushrooms, avocado, a slice of toasted bread, chives.
