 Ingredients (makes 2 servings)

4 large free-range eggs	200 g / 7.1 oz
2⁄3 cup shredded mature cheddar cheese (see dairy-free options)	80 g / 2.8 oz
pinch of pink Himalayan or sea salt	1 g / 0.04 oz
freshly ground black pepper	0.20 g / 0.01 oz

 

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450℉ / 230℃. Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks carefully. Keep the egg yolks in the shells and place it back to the box for later.

Step 2

Add a pinch of salt into the egg whites and beat them into a thick foam using a whisk or a food processor.

Step 3

Grate the cheddar cheese. If you want finely grated cheese choose the small sized holes or the medium sized holes if you want the cheese a bit coarse.

Step 4

Gently fold the cheese into the whipped egg whites and slowly mix it in with a spoon. Be careful not to deflate the eggs whites!

Step 5

Place a heat-resistant baking sheet (parchment paper) on a baking tray. Based on how many egg whites you have, create as many mounds of the egg white mixture. Use a spoon to create small dents in the center so they look like nests.

Step 6

Place in the oven and bake for about 3 minutes. Open the oven and pull the tray out. Gently add the egg yolks to the center of each nest. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 7

Place the tray back in the oven and bake for another 3 minutes.

Step 8

Serve immediately!
