Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Chives or fresh herbs, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Separate the eggs carefully, keeping yolks whole and whites cold and clean. Avoid any yolk in the whites.
- Whip the egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon salt using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in grated Parmesan if using. Spoon the whipped whites into four nests on a parchment-lined baking sheet, creating a small well in the center of each.
- Bake the whites alone in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for about 3 minutes until puffed and lightly golden.
- Carefully place one yolk into the center of each white nest and bake for another 3 minutes until yolks are warmed but still slightly runny.
Notes
[‘Use cold eggs for better volume when whipping whites.’, ‘Avoid any yolk in the whites to ensure proper whipping.’, ‘Whip whites to stiff peaks but not dry or grainy.’, ‘Use parchment paper instead of silicone mats for better puffing and crisp bottoms.’, ‘Watch oven timing closely to avoid drying out the eggs.’, ‘Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a savory note and golden color.’]
