#3802 - Eggs on a Cloud

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 egg whites
2 egg yolks
a pinch of salt
a pinch of pepper
1 3/4 TBSP of grated Parmesan cheese (or substitute any grated cheese you wish)
a slice of bread
olive oil

In a mixer add egg whites--beat until stiff. Add salt, pepper and grated cheese to the egg whites--beat until stiff. Place a slice of bread on to a baking sheet. Heap all of the egg white mixture on to the bread slice and use the back of a spoon to make a deep indentation ("nest") in the center of the egg whites. Fill the nest with the egg yolks. Bake at 325 degrees for 5 minutes or until egg whites are lightly browned. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and serve immediately. Optional: you can toast the bread lightly before adding the egg white mixture.
