Here comes the Italian version of the French 'Croque Madame'! Sure, it's not exactly the same thing, there's no ham in this recipe (but you can still add it, if you like), and the egg is sort of.. all the way through it, instead of just on the top. But taste delight is guaranteed! Try out our recipe and have fun creating your own variations!

Salted codfish balls

Salted codfish balls

'Baccalà' is the Italian name for dried and salted codfish, an essential ingredient in many culinary traditions. Worldwide, Portugal ranks number one in its consumption, but Italy follows closely after with its many traditional recipes: 'baccalà alla lucana', 'alla cosentina', 'alla siciliana', etc.. Because of the preservation process, this fish needs many hours of soaking to get rid of the salt and to rehydrate the flesh. Here we suggest a simple, delicious recipe, something children will love and an ideal buffet component too!

So, with the candles aglow, lights out, the spooky effect is a cert!!
