Step 1

Bring stock to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer.

Step 2

Beat eggs in a mixing bowl and add parmigiano-reggiano (and, if desired, parsley).

Step 3

Slowly pour egg mixture into stock, stirring with a whisk. The faster you stir, the finer the pieces of egg. Season to taste with lemon juice and salt and pepper.
