Nutritional values

Vitamin B12 and biotin are found here with over 40 percent of your daily requirement. Biotin is known above all for its positive effect on skin, hair and fingernails. Vitamin B12 plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells, and it also strengthens the immune and nervous systems.

Crostini variant: Instead of scrambled eggs, crumble 100 g of low-fat sheep's cheese (25 percent fat in dry matter, 9 percent absolute), mix with the Ajwar, spread on the still unroasted baguette slices, then gratinate.
