Wine Tip
Gutedel, Ortenau, 2013
A typical wine from Baden with a neutral nose and light tones of nutmeg. Its harmonious acidity sets off the crispy freshness of the salad. Enjoy this wine between 9 – 11°C/48 – 50°F.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. For the bread chips, cut the baguette into thin slices and distribute on a lined baking tray.

2 tbsp olive oil
Step 3
For the dressing, cook an egg in boiling water for approx. 2 – 3 min. Gently crack open the egg to remove the egg yolk. Put the parboiled egg yolk into a tall container.
