Ingredients

2 large eggs

2 tbsp chives , chopped

2 spring onions , finely sliced

wholemeal toast or gluten-free alternative, to serve (optional)

Method

Heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Tip the whites into a large, clean mixing bowl and beat with an electric whisk until aerated and fluffy.

Gently fold through 1½ tbsp of the chives and the spring onion. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment, then pile on the egg whites in two mounds. Use the back of a spoon to make a dip in the centre of each one. Bake for 8-10 mins until set and turning light golden brown. Gently tip the egg yolk into the centre of the egg whites and return to the oven for a further 2-3 mins, or until the yolk has just set. Serve sprinkled with the remaining chives. Eat on toast, or just as they come.
