Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs (separated)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (Parmesan, cheddar, or Swiss)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs, crumbled beef or turkey bacon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place yolks in small cups and set aside.
- Beat egg whites with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in cheese, salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Spoon egg whites into 4 mounds on the baking sheet, making a small well in the center of each.
- Bake for 3 minutes until slightly golden.
- Carefully place one yolk in each well and bake for 3 more minutes, until yolks are just set but still glossy.
- Serve immediately over toast, avocado toast, or salad, and enjoy!
Notes
For extra stability, add a pinch of cream of tartar when beating egg whites. Avoid overbaking to keep yolks soft and runny. Try seasoning variations like paprika, everything bagel spice, or pesto drizzle.
