Step 1: You will need
- 2 ripe avocados
- 3 gem lettuces
- 4 long wafer thin slices of gouda cheese
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 250 ml sunflower or vegetable oil
- 1 garlic clove
- 3 tbsp shallot vinegar
- 3 eggs
- 100 g grated parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper
- 1 food processor
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 medium bowl
- 1 colander
- 2 small bowls
- 1 chopping board
- 1 large knife
Step 2: Separate the eggs
Carefully crack the eggs and combine 1 whole one with 2 egg yolks in a small bowl.
Step 3: Make the dressing
Blend the garlic, shallot vinegar and eggs in the food processor until the mixture turns frothy. Slowly drizzle in all the oil in a thin stream. Add the grated parmesan, season with salt and pepper and then briefly blend again.
Step 4: Prepare the lettuce
Cut off the stalk bottom of the baby gem lettuces and then break off into whole leaves.
Step 5: Wash the lettuce
Place the lettuce leaves in the colander and wash under a cold tap. Then pat dry.
Step 6: Prepare the avocados
Run a knife round the whole avocado and split it in half. Give the stone a sharp tap and twist. It should come out easily.
Step 7: Peel and fan the avocados
Peel off the skins and without cutting all the way down, slice and fan the avocados.
Step 8: Serve
Place four of the lettuce leaves back to back onto the serving plate. Then place the fanned avocado on top. Spoon a generous layer of the dressing over the lettuce and place a slice of the gouda cheese on top. Finally, drizzle some olive oil over and sprinkle with black pepper.
