Step 2
Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, taking care not to damage the yolks. Pour the whites into the bowl of a mixer or food processor and add salt and a pinch of ground black pepper. Beat the whites for about 3–4 minutes at the highest speed until they hold stiff peaks on the whisk.

Step 3
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and grease it with vegetable oil. Greasing is essential, otherwise the baked egg whites will stick to the pan. Spoon the egg white mixture onto the sheet, dividing it into 3-4 portions and shaping them into small boats with indentations.

Place the yolks into each indentation. If one yolk breaks, don't worry—just pour its contents into the indentation. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and place the baking sheet with the preparations into the oven.
