About the dish

A light in-between dish from "Stor kokebok" (1914), built on a thick white base sauce (panade) bound with egg yolks and lifted with stiffly beaten egg white – a classic way of making use of boiled vegetables.

    Make the base sauce

    Melt the butter, stir in the flour, and thin with the milk. Bring it to a boil and take the pan off the heat.

    Add salt to taste and the egg yolks, and finally fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.

  3. 3

    Fill the mold

    Layer the mixture with one or more kinds of boiled vegetables in a well-greased mold.

  4. 4

    Cook or bake

  5. 5

    Serving

    Serve with melted or stirred butter.
