Egg In Cheese Meringue Nest

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 450u00b0F with a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet that can take high temperatures without warping, with parchment paper or Silpat.

2. 2

   Separate the egg yolks from the whites. It helps if you are making more than one egg nest to keep each egg yolk in a separate prep bowl.

3. 3

   Place the egg whites in a very clean mixer bowl and add the salt. Beat the egg whites with a whisk attachment in a mixer (or using a hand mixer), starting on low speed and then slowly increasing to high speed, until stiff peaks form.

4. 4

   Gently fold in the grated Gruyere cheese, taking care not to deflate the egg whites.

5. 5

   Create two mounds of the egg white mixture on the lined baking sheet. Form the mounds so they look like nests, with indentations in the centers.

6. 6

   Place in the oven for 3 minutes.

7. 7

   After 3 minutes, open the oven, pull out the rack with the egg white nests, and gently add an egg yolk to the center of each nest.

8. 8

   Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for 3 more minutes.

9. 9

   Serve immediately.
