Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium pot, pour in your chicken stock or bone broth and place it over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. While the broth simmers, crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk them until fully combined. Add the Parmigiano Reggiano and nutmeg, whisking until smooth.
  3. Once the broth is simmering, reduce heat to low and slowly pour the egg mixture into the broth while stirring.
  4. Continue to stir for 1-2 minutes until the eggs form soft curds. Remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
