Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Separate the egg whites and yolks, being careful to keep the yolks intact. Place the yolks in individual bowls and the whites in a large mixing bowl.
Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and whip them with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Gently fold in the grated Parmesan cheese using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Spoon the whipped egg whites onto the prepared baking sheet, creating two cloud-like mounds. Use the back of a spoon to make a small well in the center of each mound.
Bake the egg white clouds in the preheated oven for 3 minutes to set slightly.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and place one yolk into the well of each cloud. Season the clouds and yolks with a pinch of ground black pepper.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency (runny yolks are ideal for this dish).
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and garnish the clouds with chopped fresh chives, if desired.
Serve immediately, either on their own or with toast for dipping. Enjoy your fluffy and delightful Sun in a Cloud!
