Cloud Eggs

Ingredients

• 4 Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs, whites and yolks separated
• 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese
• 1/3 cup chopped green onion
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped finely
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 450F. Add the egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer. On high speed with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

STEP 2

Using a spatula, gently fold the cheese and green onion to the egg whites, taking care not to deflate the mixture.

STEP 3

Line a sheet pan with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper. Spoon the egg whites onto the prepared sheet pan in 4 equal nests or mounds.

STEP 4

Create small indentations in each egg white nest, then season with pepper. Bake for about 3 minutes, or until egg white is just starting to firm up.

STEP 5

Gently place an egg yolk into each egg white nest. Return to oven and bake for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until whites are starting to brown just slightly and yolks are still runny.

STEP 6

Garnish with the chopped bacon and more green onion, then serve immediately.
