Préparation

1. 1

   --- To make the cloud eggs with chives ---

   Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

   Mark down the middle of the mix with a spoon so that you only use half for these (they're going to be your chive version) and gently spoon onto a greaseproof baking sheet creating three little clouds.

   Gently place a yolk in the centre of each one.

6. 6

   Sprinkle generously with chives.

7. 7

   Bake for about 7 minutes until just golden at the edges.
