Ingredients
Cooking process
We start with the preparation of the lettuce leaves. If necessary, remove those leaves that have begun to deteriorate or wilted. Then we rinse the leaves, fill them with cold water and leave them in water for one hour. We do this procedure so that the leaves are juicy and crispy. To save time, you can pour cold water over the leaves, add ice cubes to them and leave for 15 minutes.
Let's start making croutons. Cut the loaf into slices of medium thickness, then cut off the crust so that only the pulp remains and cut it into cubes of the same size. We keep the cubes the same size so that they bake evenly and look appetizing. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread cubes of white bread on it, trying to leave a small distance between them. Sprinkle the cubes with olive oil and add the garlic cloves to them. We send the baking sheet to the oven, preheated to 150 degrees and dry them for 15 minutes.
We wash the quail eggs under running water, pour a small amount of water into a saucepan and carefully lay out the eggs. Cook eggs over medium heat for 5 minutes after boiling water. After that, we recommend pouring cold water over the finished eggs immediately after removing from the stove, which will allow you to easily remove the eggshell.
