- 3 ounces (85g) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste (optional)
- Freshly grated lemon zest and/or fresh lemon juice, to taste (optional)
- Finely minced flat-leaf parsley, to garnish (optional)
- In a medium saucepan, heat stock over medium-high heat until simmering. Lower heat to a bare simmer. Season lightly with salt.
- Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and cheese until thoroughly mixed.
- Slowly pour egg mixture into the soup while whisking. Return to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Season with salt once more, if needed.
