Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.

  2. Grate the Beemster Medium.

  3. Dry-fry the pine nuts in a hot frying pan until golden brown. Stir the garlic into the olive oil. Spread or sprinkle half of the garlic oil on the slices of baguette.

  4. Cover the slices of baguette with the Beemster Medium and place them on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the middle of the preheated oven, until the bread is crisp and the cheese has melted.

  5. Divide the lettuce among 4 plates. Top with the olives, tomatoes and eggs.

  6. Cut the cheese baguette slices into small squares and place them on top of the salad.

  7. Make a dressing from the remaining oil, lemon juice, pepper and salt, stir well and pour over the salad.
