- Turn up heat on pot until it has reached a medium boil.
- Stir the broth mixture until it is swirling around in the pot. Very slowly, drizzle in egg mixture and continue to stir while incorporating. The eggs should cook almost immediately. You want to make sure that you are mixing as you are drizzling the egg mixture into the hot broth and not just pouring it in to avoid the eggs just clumping up in the pot.
- Salt & pepper to taste. Depending on the flavor of your bone broth, you may or may not need much seasoning.
