For those who enjoy Austrian cuisine and have a love for music, here is a dish that pairs perfectly with some Mozart. Note that this dessert does not keep well, so it is best enjoyed as a post-ski treat. Remember to always store your egg whites in the freezer. For this recipe, you will need five of them (thawed a few hours in advance at room temperature), in addition to three fresh whole eggs.

Ingredients

– 3 egg yolks
– 8 egg whites (including 5 previously frozen)
– 80 grams of granulated sugar
– 20 grams of flour
– 25 grams of butter
– 100 ml of milk
– 2 teaspoons of red fruit jam or jelly
– 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar

Preparation

1. Allow the 5 frozen egg whites to thaw at room temperature for about half a day. Keep the whole eggs at room temperature during this time as well. Coat the bottom of an oven-safe dish (either oval or rectangular) with milk and dots of butter. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) with fan setting to warm the milk and melt the butter.

2. Separate the yolks from the egg whites: place the yolks in a large mixing bowl and add the whites to the five other thawed whites. Beat the egg whites to soft peaks, gradually adding the granulated sugar as they begin to foam.

3. Mix the egg yolks with the flour. Once the egg whites have reached stiff peaks, gently fold in a quarter of them into the yolk mixture, then carefully incorporate the rest, making sure to lift the mixture well. Spoon some jam into the hot milk-butter mixture in your dish. Using a large spatula, form three mounds in the dish, shaping them so they peak.

To Finish

Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on your oven. If the centers are still liquid, continue baking for a few more minutes. Dust the peaks of your Salzburger Nockerl with powdered sugar and serve immediately. They tend to collapse quickly, so be prompt!
