📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Salzburger Nockerl is a soufflé piled into three peaks to evoke the snowy summits of the three mountains around Salzburg. It's said to have been created in a 17th-century prince-archbishop's residence. It comes out of the oven tall and puffy but sinks as it sits, so it goes straight to the table.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a restaurant in Salzburg's old town, a three-peaked soufflé dusted with snowy sugar arrives, and everyone hurries to dig in before it falls.
