Step by step

Method

  1. 01

    Put the broth in a large pot, and bring to a boil.

  2. 02

    Separately, combine eggs, cheese, and parsley, and beat until the cheese and parsley are moistened.

  3. 03

    Once the broth is at a rolling boil, use a whisk to set the fluid whirling.

  4. 04

    Slowly add the egg mixture, keeping the broth at a boil so the egg cooks quickly.

  5. 05

    Remove from heat, and add pepper.

  6. 06

    Serve immediately, or reheat and serve very hot.

Ready to serve

Serve the dish as directed and enjoy it while it is at its best.
