Scale
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Pour the chicken broth into a medium saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated parmesan cheese until completely smooth.
- Ensure the broth is simmering gently and not boiling rapidly.
- Stir the broth in a circular motion to create a gentle whirlpool.
- Slowly drizzle the egg mixture into the simmering broth while stirring gently to form delicate ribbons.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
- Ladle into bowls and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use high quality broth for the best flavor foundation.
- Pour the egg mixture slowly for finer, silkier ribbons.
- Taste before adding extra salt since parmesan adds natural saltiness.
- Reheat gently over low heat to maintain texture.
