Eggs in Clouds

This is a Rachel Ray recipe. I tweaked it. The original recipe called for some cheese I've never heard of and can't pronounce. To me, I love all cheese, so I change the cheese to whatever sounds good at the time...or more realistically, what I have in the fridge.

Makes 4, 1 egg servings

4 eggs
1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped chives
1/4 cup crumbled bacon
Pepper

Separate eggs, putting egg whites in one large bowl, and the yolks in four separate small bowls. Use a hand mixer to whip the eggs whites until stiff peaks form. Fold in cheese, chives, and bacon. Spoon into four mounds on parchment-lined baking sheet. I spray my paper with a cooking spray. Make a deep well in the center of each "cloud". Bake at 450 degrees for 3 minutes, then add one yolk to each well, season with pepper, and bake until yolks are set, 2 to 3 minutes.
