Sage in batter is an exquisite appetizer that combines the delicate aroma of fresh sage with a crispy golden crust.

Sage leaves, with their mild bitterness and refreshing herbal taste, are dipped in egg batter and then coated with breadcrumbs. After frying in olive oil, they acquire an appetizing texture and rich flavor. This dish is perfect as an original appetizer or side dish for meat and fish dishes and wonderfully complements wine tastings. Served warm, with a light hint of spice that highlights its culinary elegance.
