- ¼ cup (60 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Separate eggs, placing egg whites into large bowl and each yolk into ramekin or small bowl.
- Step 2
Using electric mixer, beat eggs whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Fold in cheese, bacon and chives. Spoon into 4 mounds on parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Make deep well in centre of each mound.

• Use cloud eggs instead of a fried or poached egg to top a classic hash.
• Eggs are easier to separate when they are cold.
