  1. Make the Semolina teardrop dumplings.

  2. Grate the cheese into a heatproof bowl with a splash of milk.

  3. Separate 1 large egg, adding the yolk to the bowl (save the white for another recipe).

  4. Sit the bowl over a pan of very gently simmering water, making sure the water doesn't touch the base of the bowl, and leave to slowly melt for 4 to 5 minutes, until silky, almost like a thick custard.

  5. Whisk regularly, loosening with more milk, if needed, then season well with black pepper and a few scrapings of nutmeg.

  6. Toss with your dumplings and a splash of their cooking water to loosen, if needed.
