Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

simple, vegetarian, low carb

Preheat the oven to approximately 230°C (fan/convection oven). Separate the eggs and carefully set the yolks aside in a bowl, keeping them as intact as possible. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Chop the spring onions and grate the cheese. Pre-grated cheese works too, of course. I personally prefer to use whole young Gouda and grate it myself. Then fold the spring onions and cheese into the beaten egg whites and mix well. Now make two small, round piles on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Be careful not to spread them too thinly. Using a spoon, make two indentations in each mixture, each of which would theoretically fit an egg yolk. Bake the clouds at 230°C for about five minutes. Pour the egg yolks into the indentations and bake for another five minutes. The second baking time will vary depending on how runny or firm you like your yolks.
