For an extra crispy cheese layer, use a slightly aged Parmigiano-Reggiano. Its drier texture will caramelize beautifully. Don't overcrowd the pan with cheese; a thin, even layer is key to achieving the perfect crispness. If you prefer a richer flavor, consider adding a touch of garlic powder or dried herbs to the cheese before cooking. Experiment with different cheeses! Pecorino Romano or Grana Padano can offer interesting variations on the classic Parmalet.

01 Step
Recipe View In a small mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add water. Whisk lightly until just combined, avoiding overmixing. (1 minute)
02 Step
Recipe View Drizzle olive oil into an 8-inch nonstick skillet and brush to coat the bottom evenly. Spread the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano evenly across the skillet, creating a thin layer of cheese. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Place the skillet over medium-high heat. As the cheese begins to melt, it will start to bubble and turn a golden-brown color (approximately 4 minutes). Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the melted cheese. Reduce the heat to low. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne, if desired.
04 Step
Recipe View Cover the skillet and let the Parmalet cook on low heat until the eggs are set. Check after the first 30 seconds. For two eggs, this should take about 1 minute of total cooking time.
05 Step
Recipe View Remove the skillet from the heat. Gently fold the Parmalet in half using a spatula. Carefully transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately.
