Ingredients

1

Scaled to 1 serving (0.5x)

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 0.5 cup parmigiano reggiano, finely grated
  • 2 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Render the diced bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Keep the fat.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk yolks and parmesan with lots of black pepper until thick and sticky.

  3. 3

    Pull the bacon pan off the heat. Wait 30 seconds so it cools slightly.

  4. 4

    Add butter to the pan. Stir to melt.

  5. 5

    Pour the yolk mixture into the pan off the heat. Stir fast and constantly for 60 seconds. The residual heat cooks the yolks into a glossy sauce without scrambling.

  6. 6

    Plate. Top with extra parmesan and pepper.
