Optional toppings: chopped chives, crumbled bacon, paprika, hot sauce

 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Separate the eggs:
    • Carefully crack each egg and separate the whites into a mixing bowl.
    • Keep the yolks intact in a separate small bowl (1 per yolk).
  3. Whip the egg whites:
    • Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form — like a meringue.
    • Gently fold in the shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.
  4. Shape the clouds:
    • Spoon the whipped egg whites into two mounds on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
    • Use the back of a spoon to make a small well in the center of each.
  5. Bake the whites (without yolks) for 3 minutes.
  6. Add the yolks:
    • Gently place one yolk into the center of each cloud.
    • Return to the oven and bake for another 3–4 minutes, or until yolks are slightly set but still runny (or longer if you prefer them firmer).
  7. Serve immediately!
    • Top with chives, bacon, or a dash of paprika if desired.

Variations

  • Add finely chopped herbs or spinach into the whipped whites before baking.
  • Use spicy cheese (like pepper jack) for a kick.
  • Stack with avocado slices or a side of sautéed mushrooms.
