Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup grated mixed cheddar cheese (any kind that you want)
- 1/4 cup chopped chives
- 1/4 cup cooked crumbled bacon
- pepper
Instructions
- Separate eggs, putting egg whites in 1 large bowl and yolks in 2 separate bowls.
- Whip whites until stiff peaks form, looking like whipped cream.
- Carefully fold in the cheese, chives, and bacon.
- Spoon into 2 mounds on to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make a deep well in the center of each mound.
- Bake mounds at 450 degrees for 3 minutes. Then take out of oven.
- Then add 1 yolk to each mound’s well and season with pepper.
- Bake back in the oven until the yolks are set and the egg whites are golden. Around 2-3 minutes. Leave in for longer if you do not want runny, sunny-side up styled eggs.
- Serve and enjoy!
*each egg is a serving so you can add more or less eggs to serve more
