  3. Stir in the eggs and Parmesan and spread onto a greased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for approx. 10 minutes.
  4. For the coating: mix the QimiQ Sauce Base with the remaining ingredients together well (except the toasting bread and bacon).
  5. Season the saddle of lamb and pan fry gently on both sides. Allow to chill.
  6. Flatten the toasting bread.

  8. Cook the saddle of lamb at 180 °C until a core temperature of 56 °C has been reached. Remove from the aluminium foil and allow to rest.
  9. Cut the polenta into slices and pan fry on both sides.
  10. Slice the saddle of lamb and serve with the polenta slices and vegetables if required.
