📝 Instructions

6 steps

2. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly and then whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese and freshly grated nutmeg.

3. Once the broth is simmering, reduce the heat to low and gently stir in the beaten eggs by slowly pouring them into the broth in a steady stream, while stirring continuously with a fork to create thin strands of egg.

4. Stir in the fresh spinach leaves and let them cook until they are wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

5. Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.

6. Serve the stracciatella hot, optionally garnishing with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
