Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, then turn it off.

  2. Step 2

    Melt the butter in a large skillet and fry the bread until golden brown on both sides. Place in a soup bowl just large enough to fit the bread. Place the bowl in the warm oven.

  3. Step 3

    Place the broth in a saucepan and bring to a strong boil. Season with salt and pepper if necessary.

  4. Step 4

    Remove the bowl from the oven and break an egg on top of the bread. Pour the boiling broth over the egg and season with pepper to taste. Sprinkle with Parmesan, chopped parsley and a grating of fresh nutmeg. Eat at once.

Delicious. I fried up some pancetta and tried it in one bowl. Very good. By the way, is it okay to call it Schrambled Egg Soup?

saw similar recipe in 36 hours article NYT April 5, as comfort food to try during our stay at home corona days. Easy and good. didn't use nutmeg or parsley. Lemon would be good in it too, methinks.

In these trying times, take out that frozen loaf of bread, season that boxed bone broth from the pantry and use the last of your eggs and parmigiana cheese— this is a soulful, easy meal that satisfies in a few short minutes.
