Egg whites whipped into a stable foam and baked in mounds on parchment paper; a yolk goes into a well in each mound, and they bake a few more minutes until the yolk is warm and still runny.
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3
Separate the eggs: the whites into a clean bowl, and each yolk into its own small cup.
Bowl
💡Separate each egg on its own, over a cup: a drop of yolk in the whites keeps them from whipping, and a broken yolk doesn't end up in the bowl.
4
Whip the egg whites with a pinch of the salt, to stiff, stable peaks.

5
Form a mound of foam on the paper for each egg, with a well in the center of each mound made with the back of a spoon.
6
Bake on the baking sheet 3–5 minutes, until the foam is lightly golden.
