Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat); lightly butter.
- 2 Separate egg whites and egg yolks. Place whites in a large bowl. Reserve yolks in two separate, smaller bowls.
- 3 Add vinegar to egg whites then add salt; whisk until reaches relatively firm, but not dry, peaks.
- 4 Spoon egg whites onto the prepared baking sheet, shape as desired, making sure not too wide, since want some height. Make a small depression in centers using the back of a spoon.
- 5 Bake in center of the preheated oven until egg whites just start to take on some golden color, 5 to 6 minutes. Add yolks to depressions; bake until yolks are heated through, but still runny, 3 to 4 minutes more.
