Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons grated cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped herbs like chives or parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully separate the egg whites and yolks, placing yolks in individual bowls and whites in a large mixing bowl.
- Whip the egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in cheese, herbs, and optional seasonings.
- Spoon whipped egg whites onto the baking sheet in four mounds, creating a well in the center of each.
- Bake for 3–4 minutes, until slightly golden and set.
- Carefully add a yolk to each well and bake for another 2–3 minutes, until yolks are just set.
- Remove from oven, season with pepper, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use freshly separated eggs for easier whipping and better structure.
- Keep a close eye on yolks while baking to avoid overcooking.
- Customize with cheese, spices, or herbs for added flavor.
- Serve over toast or greens for a complete meal.
- Best enjoyed immediately—texture changes when reheated.
