    Fluffy, super tasty and ready in just 15 minutes, Eggs in a Cloud make an awesome breakfast or lunch, and are naturally dairy-free and gluten-free!

    I've got for you two fantastic reasons to celebrate today: first, it's FriYAY! Second, it's National Vegetarian Week!

    To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to share a vegetarian twist on a classic breakfast staple: eggs+bacon.

    Have you ever tried eggs in a cloud (or cloudy eggs)? They have become HUGELY popular lately, and I'm so excited to finally share this recipe with you.

    **This post is sponsored by Quorn. All opinions are my own**

    Eggs in a Cloud might be a little hipster, but from all the fancy ways to cook eggs, this is most definitely the easiest one (besides perhaps Italian mini frittatas).

    Packed with simple but amazing flavors, requiring little effort and ZERO cooking experience, these Eggs in a Cloud are ready in just 15 min of your time.

    All you need to make them is 3 simple ingredients: free-range eggs, chives, and Quorn™ vegetarian bacon.eggs on a green napkin, chives on the bottom side and quorn vegetarian bacon packagin on the left side

    For this awesome recipe, I've partnered up with Quorn, one of the most established and reliable brands for all the vegetarians out there.

    Have you ever tried Quorn bacon rashers? They're flavorful thin stripes of vegetarian awesomeness, smoky and high in protein, a perfect meat-free alternative for a tasty breakfast.eggs in a cloud on a white plate with fork on the side over a green napkin, quorn vegetarian bacon package on the top side and chives on the left side

    Back to the recipe, once you have gathered all your 4 ingredients, these Eggs in a Cloud are ridiculously easy to make.

      This does look like a pretty dish. I would be worried about trying to get the egg whites right to stick the egg yolks in, but it does look good.

      Really liking the idea to mix flavour ingredients into the egg white cloud, changes it up a lot from the repetitions all over the web. I'm thinking your version totally wins!!

      Oh man!!! This looks incredible! I'm not a vegetarian, but I often find that vegetarian substitutes are just as good or better than meat. I am going to have to try this over the weekend.
