Bacon Chive Parmesan Eggs in Clouds – Step by Step Picture Recipe

(For a printer friendly version, see the recipe card at the end of this post)

Ingredients

Here is what you will need to serve 2.

• 3 Slices of Smoked Streaky Bacon
• 2 Large Eggs
• 1 heaped tbsp Fresh Chives, Chopped
• 20g (1/4 Cup) Parmesan Cheese, Grated
• Pepper

Essential equipment

• 2 x Baking Trays/Sheets
• Silicone Baking Mat or Baking Paper
• Foil
• Large Bowl
• Small bowl or Glass
• Whisk
• Spatula

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/392ºF and line your baking tray/sheet with a silicone baking mat or baking paper.

While the oven is preheating, line another small tray in foil and lay on your streaky bacon (3 x slices). Place into the oven (don’t worry that it’s not up to temperature) and bake until crispy, turning once halfway through the cooking time. Around 15-20 minutes. (If you’re short on time, you can make air fryer bacon instead.)

When the bacon is cooked, soak up any excess grease with kitchen roll and chop into small pieces. Set to one side until needed.

Next, separate the eggs (x 2 large). Put the whites into a large bowl and the yolks into separate small bowl or glass.

Then whisk the egg whites until very thick and almost shiny. Stiff peaks will form and hold their shape well.

Next, tip in the chopped bacon, chives (1 heaped tbsp), grated parmesan (20g | 1/4 Cup) and a pinch of pepper to season. Carefully fold in with a spatula, being careful not to knock out any of the air, until the ingredients are just incorporated.

Spoon the mixture out onto your prepared baking sheet into two separate mounds.

Then make a small dip in the middle of each one, and carefully slide the egg yolks back into their rightful place.

Finally, bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes until cooked through and light golden on top. Serve immediately.
