Herring riette with cheese and egg

2 servings

10 minutes

Herring rillettes with cheese and egg is a delicate appetizer with a vibrant flavor that embodies the harmony of sea freshness and creamy softness. Its origin can be traced to French culinary tradition, where rillettes is a paste-like dish perfect for serving on bread. Here, the classic rillettes takes on a new interpretation thanks to the rich flavor of herring, the subtle acidity of wine vinegar, and the spiciness of parmesan. The creamy texture created with butter and boiled eggs makes it incredibly tender, while dark bread serves as an excellent base that enhances the flavor accents. This dish is perfect for cozy evenings, friendly gatherings, or simply as an original alternative to traditional appetizers.
