Tyrolean Kas-Pofesen | Golden-brown with savory mountain cheese

Preheat the oven to 100 °C top/bottom heat to keep the finished Kas-Pofesen warm later. Wash the chives, shake dry, and cut into fine rings. Finely grate the mountain cheese or slice it thinly.

Lay out the slices of farmhouse bread. Thinly spread four slices with sour cream, sprinkle with a little salt, pepper, and chives, and generously distribute the grated mountain cheese on top. Place the remaining four slices of bread on top and press down gently to form compact sandwiches.

In a deep plate, thoroughly whisk the eggs with the whole milk, a pinch of salt, freshly ground pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg using a fork.
