Tips

  • For toasted pine nuts, gently toast them in a dry skillet over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant. Watch them closely as they burn easily.
  • If you prefer a firmer egg yolk, cook for a few more minutes. You can also finish the dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to set the yolks and melt the cheese further.
