Oeufs Nuages
Ingredients
Eggs
Salt
Cheese ( optional)
Toast ( optional)
Spice of choice Aleppo, Everything Bagel, Pepper, or Chives...
Instructions
- Separate the whites from the yolks, being careful not to break the yolks. 1 egg per person.
- With a whisk (use the balloon whisk attachment if you're using a KitchenAid), whip the whites until they are fluffy, adding a pinch of salt. Beat until stiff peaks form, as if you were making meringue.
- With the whipped egg white, make nests on a baking tray or ovenproof skillet, you can also use individual ramekins. Be sure to shape them to make a hollow in the centre, using a spoon (where you will later add the yolk).
- Preheat the oven to 200 ºC and bake the whites for about 4 minutes, until they begin to set.
- Open the oven, remove the tray and add the yolks into the centre of your egg nests. Add grated parmesan cheese or cheddar if using.
- Seasoning of choice, and return to the oven to continue baking 3 or 4 more minutes, until you see the whites are golden (but the yolk is still runny). Ready!
