Ingredients:
4 eggs, separated

Method: Preheat your oven to 220°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Separate the eggs, putting egg whites in one large bowl and yolks in four individual small bowls. Whip the whites until stiff peaks form. Fold in the Parmesan, chives and bacon. Spoon four mounds of egg white mixture onto the lined tray and make a deep well in the centre of each mound. Bake for 3 minutes, then add a yolk to each well. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until the yolks are just set, 2–3 minutes. Scatter over parsley and serve with well- buttered toast (gluten-free if you prefer).
