- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
- cooking spray or a little olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate Eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing the yolks in individual small bowls and the whites in a mixing bowl.
- Beat Egg Whites: Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with salt and pepper until stiff peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes.
