Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 cups chicken stock
4 eggs
4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
A tiny grating of fresh nutmeg
2 tablespoons minced parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Bring 3 cups stock to a boil over medium-high heat in a 6- to 8-cup saucepan. Beat the remaining stock with the eggs, the cheese, the nutmeg and the parsley until they are well blended.
When stock is boiling, adjust heat so it bubbles frequently but not furiously. Add egg mixture in a steady stream, stirring occasionally until eggs gather together in small curds, 2 or 3 minutes.
Taste, and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve, garnishing with a little more Parmesan if you like.
