Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°. Line a large baking sheet with parchment. Grease parchment with cooking spray.
Step 2
Separate egg whites and yolks, placing egg whites in a large bowl and yolks in a small bowl. Using a whisk or handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold in Parmesan; season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Spoon 8 mounds of egg whites onto prepared sheet. Gently press a spoon into the center to form nests.
Step 4
Bake egg whites until firm and set, 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 5
Carefully spoon an egg yolk into center of each nest; season with salt and pepper. Continue to bake until yolks are just set, 3 to 4 minutes more.
Step 6
Transfer cloud eggs to a platter. Top with chives.
