Ingredients

Persons-+

4 eggs
100 gram ricotta cheese

50gram Henri Willig Biscuit cheese with asparagus

1 tsp curry powder
salt
sprigs of flat parsley
10 fresh basil leaves

Preparation

1
Bring the eggs to the boil and leave to stand for 10 minutes.

Peel and grate the eggs with a coarse grater. Add ricotta, curry powder and a pinch of sweet. Then finely chop the flat parsley and basil. Finally, grate the Henri Willig Biscuit Cheese with Asparagus. Stir to combine.

Our Asparagus cheese is a seasonal product and therefore not available all year round.
But not to worry - at Henri Willig, you'll find a rich assortment of cheeses all year round that go perfectly with an egg salad.
How about our Henri Willig Koekaas Gouda Naturel for a soft, creamy flavour? Or go for a more powerful character with the Henri Willig Organic Gouda Old - spicy, salty and full of flavour.

Goat's cheese instead of ricotta? Yes!

Want to give your egg salad that little bit extra? Replace the ricotta with soft goat's cheese. This adds flavour, extra creaminess and a surprising character. Goat cheese adds a spicy, distinct twist that goes perfectly with the soft texture of egg.

Pay attention to a few things:

Choose soft goat cheese - it mixes best with the eggs.
Taste in between - goat cheese has a strong flavour, so add it little by little.
Got too spicy? No worries! Mix your salad with some yoghurt or crème fraîche to soften it.

Tip from us:
Add some honey, walnuts and beetroot for a surprisingly luxurious and slightly sweet combination. Delicious for lunch or with drinks!

Serving & variation tips:

Give your egg salad extra character: with flavourful additions such as chives, gherkins, pearl onions, capers, curry powder or a pinch of paprika. Fancy something special? A little mustard or a drizzle of truffle oil provides a surprising twist!
Delicious with Soup: Egg salad is the perfect addition to a warm bowl of soup - try it with classic asparagus soup for a real seasonal favourite.
On a croissaint: Generously top a freshly baked croissant with egg salad for a luxurious breakfast or tasty lunch. Simple, quick and particularly tasty.
