Description
Bacon Parmesan & Chive Egg Clouds are a whimsical breakfast treat featuring fluffy egg whites topped with rich yolks, crumbled bacon, and savory Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the whites in a large mixing bowl and the yolks in a separate bowl.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- Gently fold in the crumbled bacon, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper into the whipped egg whites until just combined.
- Spoon the egg white mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating 8 mounds. Make a small indentation in the center of each mound for the yolk.
- Carefully place one egg yolk into the indentation of each egg white mound.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg white mixture.
- You can also substitute the bacon with cooked sausage or diced ham for a different flavor profile.
