PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • two large pans
  • small pot

    ACTIVE: 40 min

    PASSIVE: 0 min

    COOKING

    1. Melt 1 teaspoon of clarified butter in a large frying pan. Add the onions and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Now caramelize slowly over a medium heat until they are almost dark brown. This can take a good 30-40 minutes.

    2. Meanwhile, bread the chicken breast. To do this, cut the meat in a butterfly cut. Place the chicken breast fillets between two layers of cling film and pound with a little force and a meat mallet to a thickness of about 5-8 mm.

    3. Now dredge each piece of meat in the flour first and press down well on all sides. Next, pull through the egg so that the piece of meat is well coated on all sides and finally pull through the breadcrumbs and press down well.

    4. Heat 1 tbsp clarified butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat and allow to melt. Now fry the breaded chicken breast fillets in the fat until golden brown. Fry for about 4 minutes on each side, depending on how thick the meat is.

    5. While the meat is cooking, slowly heat the hollandaise sauce in a small pan over a low heat.

    6. Arrange the meat on plates, pour over the hollandaise sauce and top with the caramelized onions and freshly chopped parsley.

    INTRODUCTION

    ABOUT THE RECIPE

    The „Stramme Max“ is originally a German dish traditionally served as a slice of sourdough bread with ham and fried eggs. There are countless variations and modifications, as it is super simple and makes a delicious breakfast. Here you will find my version as a slightly crisper one with fresh tomatoes and my pickle & red onion salsa as well as a freshly baked ciabatta bun. Let’s enjoy this bun of happiness.

    How to serve:
    To serve Strammer Max, start by toasting a slice of your favorite bread. Fry eggs to your desired doneness. Place the ham and eggs on the toasted bread. Add a touch of freshness with sliced tomatoes and a zesty pickle and red onion salsa. Serve it open-faced for a picturesque presentation.

    How to store:
    While Strammer Max is best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare components in advance. Store ham and eggs separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving to maintain the ideal texture. If you have leftover Strammer Max, refrigerate it, but be aware that the bread may lose its crispiness upon reheating.

        PASSIVE: 90 min

        COOKING

        1. For the dough, beat 25g butter with a pinch of salt (approx. 3 minutes) and then add the egg and mix. Now add 100g flour and the quark. Knead everything into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the fridge for at least 90 minutes.

        2. After 90 minutes, bring a medium-sized pot of water to the boil. Meanwhile, transfer the dough from the fridge to a floured work surface and roll out. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Place a piece of nougat in the middle of each piece of dough, wrap evenly with dough and shape into a ball.

        3. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat and place the nougat balls in the boiling water. Cook the nougat balls for around 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the vanilla sauce in a small pan.

        4. In the meantime, melt 1.5 tablespoons of butter in a small pan and toast both 35g breadcrumbs and 35g ground hazelnuts in it, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant. Now add the sugar and stir in. Divide half of the crumbs between 4 plates.

        5. As soon as the balls start to turn in the water, they are ready. Remove from the pan and drain well. Now place the balls on the crumbs on the plates. Spread the vanilla sauce over them and top with the other half of the crumbs.

        6. Bring water for the pasta to the boil in a large pan and cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet.

        7. Put the finished pasta on a plate, spread the meat sauce over it and serve with parmesan, plenty of parsley and fresh pepper.
