Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup grated cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh chives chopped
- pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Add the whites in a large bowl. Keep each yolk separate, in 2 smaller bowls.
- Whisk the egg whites with an electric mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the other ingredients into the egg white mixture. Spoon the egg whites into 2 mounds onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Make a well in the middle of the egg whites with the back of the spoon. Bake them at 375°F for 5 minutes until set.
- Remove from the oven. Gently slide a yolk into each well. Bake the cloud eggs again, until the yolk is cooked but still runny. Garnish with fresh chopped chives.
Notes
- Carefully separate your egg whites and yolks. Any yolk contamination could prevent the whites from puffing up.
- Whisk the egg whites until they're stiff enough to hold peaks on their own.
- Fresh eggs give richer flavor, are easier to separate, and whip up to a higher volume.
