- 4 Egg yolks(Use fresh, large eggs.)
- 200 ml Heavy cream(Cold heavy cream (35% fat or higher) is essential for texture.)
- 50 g Breadcrumbs(Fine, plain breadcrumbs (panko is too coarse). You can make your own from stale white bread.)
- 1 tsp Salt(Or to taste.)

- 2-3 tbsp Butter(For frying. Unsalted butter is preferred.)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley(Finely chopped, for garnish (optional).)
👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Prepare the veal mixture: In a large bowl, combine the finely ground veal, egg yolks, salt, and white pepper. Gently mix with your hands or a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing, which can toughen the meat.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Incorporate cream and breadcrumbs: Gradually add the cold heavy cream to the veal mixture, mixing gently until it's fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, gently fold in the fine breadcrumbs until evenly distributed. The mixture should be soft but hold its shape.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours. Chilling is crucial for the mixture to firm up, making it easier to shape and preventing it from falling apart during cooking.
⏱️ 1 hour (minimum) - 4
Shape the patties: Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take about 1/4 of the chilled mixture (approximately 100g) and gently form it into an oval patty, about 1.5-2 cm thick. Aim for a smooth surface. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form 4 patties.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 5
Cook the Wallenbergare: Melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat (around 150°C / 300°F). Carefully place the patties in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd it. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 70°C (160°F). Add more butter if needed between batches.
⏱️ 10-15 minutes - 6
Serve immediately: Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Traditionally served with boiled new potatoes, creamed peas (ärtsoppa), and lingonberry jam.
