1 serving

ingredients

  • 130 g green asparagus
  • 75 g sprouts (I’ve used onion and radish seed sprouts)
  • 12 quail's eggs
  • 60 g cheddar cheese, matured
  • pepper

preparation

Preparation

1. Blanch the asparagus briefly in boiling water for approx. 2 min., then set aside to cool.

2. Boil the eggs for 3 min.

3. Cut the asparagus and Castello® Mature Cheddar into thin strips (it’s easiest to use a peeler).

4. Layer the dish on small plates. Place asparagus on the bottom, then top with the shoots shaped like a little nest. Then top with cheddar and a couple of eggs. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper.
