Description

This recipe for goose breast fillet with thyme crust is a feast for the senses! The tender fillets, covered with an aromatic crust of thyme, lemon and breadcrumbs, are a real eye-catcher and taste simply delicious. I especially like to make this dish for Christmas or New Year's Eve, as it is something special. The preparation is a bit more complex, but the result is worth it. A fine sauce and side dishes of your choice go well with it. A tip: the dish can be prepared well in advance, so you have less stress on the holiday itself.
