Wine Tip
Scheurebe late harvest wine, sweet, 2012
The varied fruit aroma, as well as the fine acidity, of this Scheurebe play with the airy character of this quark soufflé. The expressive body and well-balanced residual sweetness make for a long lasting taste sensation.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/ 355°F. Beat egg whites until stiff. As soon as it begins to foam, gradually add half of sugar. The bowl and the beater should be free from any kind of grease, to create the desired consistency.
