- Gently fold in the Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, sliced chives, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Create small mounds of the mixture on the prepared baking sheet, using a spoon to shape them into clouds.
- Make a small indentation in the center of each mound and carefully add an egg yolk to each.
