Cloud Eggs with Asiago Cheese & Chives are Amazing

Ingredients needed to make the Cloud Eggs with Asiago Cheese

4 large eggs
3 oz. Asiago cheese, finely grated, divided
3 T. fresh chives, finely chopped, divided
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions for making the Cloud Eggs with Asiago Cheese

Position oven rack to center position. Preheat oven to 450°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Crack and separate eggs, placing the whites in a large mixing bowl and reserving the yolks in another bowl.* Season egg whites with salt and pepper, to taste.
Using a hand mixer or immersion blender, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula while blending to incorporate all of the egg white.

Gently fold in ⅔ of the Asiago cheese and chives into the bowl, being careful not to deflate the egg whites in the process. Spoon the whipped egg white mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into four piles, leaving plenty of room between each mound. With the back of a spoon, create an indent in the center of each mound and place baking sheet on center rack in preheated oven and bake for 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes, remove from oven and transfer reserved yolks into the indent of each mount. Sprinkle each mound with half of the remaining cheese and fresh chives and return to oven and bake another 3 minutes or until yolks are set and egg whites are golden brown.

Remove egg clouds from oven and sprinkle with remaining cheese and chives and serve immediately.

Variations for the Cloud Eggs with Asiago Cheese

If you're looking for variations on the classic Cloud Eggs with Asiago Cheese & Chives recipe, there are plenty of options to choose from. Instead of asiago cheese and chives, why not top your cloud eggs with freshly grated sharp cheddar? Adding diced bell pepper or mushrooms to the egg whites while they whip can create a colorful dish with more flavor. You could also experiment by adding herbs such as basil, parsley, oregano, rosemary, or thyme for a more robust breakfast than the traditional recipe allows. For those watching their carb intake, why not forego bread altogether and serve these low-carb variations of cloud eggs in a bed of greens? By simply making a few variations to this delicious recipe, you can enjoy cloud eggs in any way imaginable!
