Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup Colby jack cheese
- 6 trips Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 2 teaspoons green onions chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Crack the eggs, separating the yolks from the whites being careful to not break the yolks. Set the yolks aside, do not toss them away!
- Using an electric hand or stand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form (4-5 minutes). Make sure you bowl and mixer are very dry and free of oils.
- Use a spatula to carefully fold in the cheese and salt so as not to deflate the egg whites.
- Spoon the egg whites onto the parchment lined baking tray into 6 even piles. The egg whites will not rise in the oven so they will turn out exactly how you place them. Use the back of a spoon to form a shallow well in the center of each pile, this is where your yolk will sit once baked.
- Bake for 6 minutes or until the whites are set and don’t jiggle when the pan is tapped.
- Carefully pour a yolk into each well. Bake again for 4 minutes or until just starting to turn golden and the yolks are done but still runny.
- Top with bacon and onions and serve!

Notes
- Whip the egg whites in a large bowl: The volume of the whites is going to increase, so use a big enough bowl to accommodate for that.
- Use room temperature eggs: I find the egg whites whip best when I use room temperature eggs.
- Space the eggs well on the pan: Do not overcrowd the egg nests on the baking sheet to ensure they bake correctly.
