Just when you thought you'd finally mastered the various ways to cook the perfect egg (thanks to us), this happens.

Apparently it's time to wave goodbye to the classic scrambled/poached/fried thing you've had going on, and make way for the new monstrous cooking technique taking over Instagram.

<p>They're called cloud eggs, and are made by separating egg whites from the yolk and whipping them until they're a fluffy, thick consistency. The whites are then baked<i><em data-redactor-tag=" em"="" data-verified="redactor"> in the oven for five minutes, before the yolk is put back on top of it, and it's shoved back in the oven until it's cooked.

Hence the sunshine-popping-out-of-the-cloud-egg thing. What was wrong with just cracking an egg in a frying pan and hoping for the best?

<p>By the look of things, it's actually taking off on Instagram, and has been hashtagged hundreds of times already, with people sharing their creations and commenting on how nice they are.</p> <p><a href=" https:="" www.instagram.com="" p="" bt1os1qaw2o"="" target="_blank">One person wrote: "I made some baked eggs and they look like clouds, plus they were delicious", while another added: "Made cloud eggs again yesterday... definitely my new favourite thing!!"

Yeah, whatever you say mate.
