Fluffy eggs recipe

4 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 4 slices of bread
  • 1 small handful of finely grated cheese - Cheddar, Parmesan, Emmental, whichever you prefer
  • 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat the oven to 190C/375F/gas mark 5.
  2. 2
    Separate the eggs, keeping the yolks whole, and whisk the egg whites into stiff peaks.
  3. 3
    Lightly toast the bread, then put the slices on a baking tray.
  4. 4
    Spread three-quarters of the egg white on to the semi-toasted bread.
  5. 5
    Make a small well in the egg white on each slice of bread, and pop in a yolk - one yolk per slice.
  6. 6
    Season each yolk with salt and pepper, then cover with the remaining egg white, making sure the yolk is sealed in.
  7. 7
    Sprinkle a teaspoon of grated cheese over each, then bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the top is nicely golden.
  8. 8
    This should give you a nice, runny yolk.
  9. 9
    If you prefer a firmer yolk, give it a little longer.
  10. 10
    Serve at once.
