Method

6 steps · 10 minutes

Grate the parmesan finely and scatter it into a warm non-stick pan in two rough circles.
Wait until it melts, spreads and starts to bubble at the edges, about a minute.
Crack an egg into the middle of each circle. The cheese seals to the white and the outside keeps frying.
Butter around the outside and spoon it over the whites. Do not cover the pan — steam softens the lace you are making.
It is ready when the cheese has gone from pale to deep gold and lifts in one piece with a spatula.
Pepper flakes over, and salt lightly. Parmesan brings most of the salt already.
