- 2 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
- 1 tbsp ( 15 mL ) finely chopped fresh chives
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Separate eggs, placing egg whites into large bowl and each yolk into ramekin or small bowl.
-
Using electric mixer, beat eggs whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Fold in cheese, bacon and chives. Spoon into 4 mounds on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Make deep well in centre of each mound.

Notes
• Bake cloud eggs on a slice of bread, halved English muffin or bagel if desired.
• Use cloud eggs instead of a fried or poached egg to top a classic hash.
• Eggs are easier to separate when they are cold.
