Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- pinch of salt per egg
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- cracked pepper for serving
- chopped fresh parsley or chives for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F, with rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks, making sure that absolutely no yolk ends up in the egg whites. Put all the egg whites into a medium mixing bowl that is very clean and void of any water, oils, or residue, and each egg yolk into their own individual prep bowls.
- Add a small pinch of salt per egg white (about a scant ¼ tsp total for 4 large eggs). Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Very gently fold in the Parmesan cheese until just incorporated, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. (Do not mix or pat down.)
- Create 4 equal mounds of the egg white mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, with indentations in the centers, so they look like nests.
- Transfer baking sheet to the oven and cook for 3 minutes.
- Pull rack out from oven and carefully add an egg yolk to the center of each nest. Return to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes.
- Serve immediately with some cracked fresh pepper, fresh chopped chives, or parsley, if desired.
