Cloud eggs

Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Line a baking sheet with baking paper and brush the paper with a little oil where the egg will be placed. Carefully separate the eggs, keeping the yolks separate. Serve either in a halved eggshell or in an egg cup. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold in the grated Parmesan cheese. Place two heaping eggs on the oiled baking sheet, spread a little, and use a tablespoon to make a well in the center of each one. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-6 minutes; the egg whites will rise and form a cloudy appearance. Remove from the oven and drop one egg yolk into each well. Return to the oven for another 3 minutes. The yolk will remain runny. Meanwhile, fry the bacon until crispy. Serve one cloud egg, sprinkled with pepper, and two strips of bacon on each plate. This goes very well with baguette cut into strips, which you can dip into the runny egg yolk.
