Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Separate eggs, placing whites in a clean bowl and yolks in a small ramekin.
Step 2
Add cream to the egg yolks and whisk with a fork until combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3
Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, ~3 minutes.
Step 4
Divide whites between two buttered oven-safe ramekins or small bowls, creating a nest with a well in the center.
Step 5
Slide ramekins into oven and bake until clouds are puffed and set but still pale, 5–6 minutes.
Step 6
Carefully remove ramekins from oven and pour one yolk mixture into the center well of each cloud.
Step 7
Return to oven for 1–2 minutes until yolks look cooked on the surface but still jiggle slightly.
Step 8
Top with crumbled bacon and fresh chives. Serve immediately while the cloud is still puffed and warm.
