Serves: 1, easily doubled
Ingredients
  • 2 cups homemade chicken stock
  • Squeeze or two of fresh lemon juice
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 slice good bread, stale or toasted
  • About ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Good olive oil
Instructions
  1. Heat the stock and lemon juice with a pinch of salt and some ground pepper, covered, until it comes to a boil. Remove the lid and turn the heat to very low, so the pot just barely simmers. Crack an egg into a little prep bowl. Salt it. Lower it carefully into the simmering soup. Use a spoon to fold the whites back in if they seem to spread. Simmer until whites are set, 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, put the toasted bread in the bottom of a wide bowl. Sprinkle with most of the Parmesan and drizzle with olive oil. Gently pour the soup out over the bread, using a spoon to keep the egg from breaking. Sprinkle with more Parm, olive oil, and salt, then eat (breaking the yolk to help thicken things).
