Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Beat egg whites salt and pepper in a bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold Parmesan cheese in gently.

Step 3

Make 2 mounds of egg whites on the prepared baking sheet. Create a small indent in the centre of the egg whites with the back of a spoon.

Step 4

Bake egg whites in the preheated oven until lightly browned 2 to 3 minutes. Remove egg whites from the oven and carefully place 1 yolk in the centre of each indent. Place back in the oven until yolks look set about 3 minutes.

Step 5

Carefully remove cloud eggs from the parchment paper with a spatula or fish slice; slide onto plates. Sprinkle chives on top.
