Difficulty: easy

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs

First separate the egg whites from the yolks. Be very careful so that the yolks do not burst. Then whip the egg whites and season them with a pinch of salt. Blend until it has a compact consistency.

Then, line a refractory baking tray or with baking paper, or grease it with olive oil. If the pan is non-stick the above steps are not necessary. Form two mounds with the egg white and, with the help of a spoon, open a hole in the center of each “dumpling”.

Place the egg whites in the preheated oven at 230 ˚C for about 5 minutes. Finally, remove the eggs from the oven, place the yolk in the center and sprinkle over the parmesan, black pepper and, if necessary, season with salt. Place in the oven for another 5 minutes. Serve hot!
