A twist on the traditional Austrian pastry dish. Wholesome and vegetarian.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat: 180°C). Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Then whisk the egg yolks with the low-fat quark, flour, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and parsley. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk if necessary. The batter should have a runny consistency, but be firmer than that of a crêpe batter. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes. In the meantime, finely dice the shallot and garlic, slice the mushrooms, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Carefully heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and sauté the shallot and garlic without browning. Then add the mushrooms and fry for about 2-3 minutes. Then add the cherry tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Remove half of the sautéed vegetables from the pan, as the batter needs to be baked in two batches. Now fold the beaten egg whites into the batter. Then spread half of the batter evenly over the vegetables in the pan. Return the pan to the hot plate for a short time so the egg can set. Meanwhile, cut the feta cheese into small cubes and spread half of them over the batter. Bake the Kaiserschmarren in the hot oven for approx. 15-20 minutes. Do not put a lid on the pan! Do the same with the remaining batter. If you want to save time, prepare the Kaiserschmarren in two pans at the same time. Before serving, tear the Kaiserschmarren into large pieces with a fork and sprinkle with fresh herbs, e.g. cress, parsley, etc. A fresh yogurt and herb dip goes very well with the Kaiserschmarren.
