Nature here in Leogang provides us with the most delicious and healthiest ingredients for fine gourmet dishes, and the fancy preparation in our gourmet kitchen does everything to inspire you.

Our JRE Andreas Herbst provides you with cooking tips for a successful preparation of the spring menu that he recommends: as a starter there is poached free-range egg, the main dish consists of the Leoganger Schwarzleo char and as dessert we enjoy Leoganger cheese curd pancakes.

Poached free range egg

Poached free range egg

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 organic free-range eggs (Schrederbauer farmer Saalfelden)
  • Water
  • Some vinegar
  • Salt
  • White wine vinegar

Preparation

Preparation

Cook the free-range eggs in a convection machine with 62° steam for 1 hour. Then remove and store in a coffee cup.

Boil up the water with a little vinegar and boil the cooked eggs in it very briefly (about 30 seconds). Next, arrange immediately.

Tip: If you don't have a convection machine or sous vide machine at home, you can also poach the eggs classically. Add salt and white wine vinegar to a bowl of boiling water. Stir the water vigorously with a rubber spatula to form a whirl. Quickly break an egg into the water. Sometimes it is easier to break the egg into a bowl beforehand and then gently pour it into the water. The egg whites wrap around the egg yolks so keep gently stirring.

The cooking time depends on the desired hardness of the egg yolk, usually 3-5 minutes is sufficient. Remove the poached egg with a scoop and transfer to kitchen paper to drain.

Black bread crumbles

Ingredients

Cut the dry black bread into cubes about 2 cm thick using a slicing machine. Roast these black bread cubes crispy in butter and pat dry on a kitchen roll.
