Chef Meilleur Ouvrier de France, 2 stars in the Michelin Guide and 4 Toques in Gault & Millau, has made 64° eggs one of his specialties. He unveils two recipes to make a splash at Easter dinner!

64° is the ideal temperature for cooking eggs. It’s also the name that MOF chef Olivier Nasti has chosen for the Michelin-starred Le Chambard**** Relais & Châteaux in Kaysersberg. The œuf parfait, also known as the œuf à 64°, has become his signature dish. The fruit of a long, low-temperature cooking process in a steam oven, it is seasonally adapted to noble products: chanterelle mushrooms, asparagus riso, langoustines… Presented in an egg white ravioli, or accompanied by black breadcrumbs, it will sublimate any festive menu. A salty wink to celebrate Easter!


Olivier Nasti, Chef MOF 2 Michelin stars and 4 Toques Gault & Millau.
At the age of 49, this enthusiast for authentic, seasonal produce now heads up a brigade of 22 cooks. His passion for cooking was nurtured by a series of encounters and apprenticeships at Château Servin in Belfort, where he is originally from, then at Jean Schillinger** in Colmar. In 1988, he joined Olivier Roellinger*** in Cancale, then in 1990 the Haeberlin family at the Auberge de L’Ill*** in Illhaeusern. In 1993, he took over the winery in Eguisheim. In 2000, he bought Le Chambard with his brother. Now the sole master of his piano, he was awarded his first Michelin star in 2005. His path to excellence was again rewarded with a macaron in 2014. In 2007, after many months of preparation, he was awarded the title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France, a distinction that testifies to his high level of technical skill, his mastery of his craft and his determination to always excel in his art. In 2009, he was awarded the “Gault & Millau d’Or – trophée Villeroy & Boch” by Guide director Patricia Alexandre, in recognition of his dynamism, entrepreneurial spirit, modernity and creativity. In 2013, he was awarded a 4th Toque by Gault & Millau, and in 2014 a Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide for his winstub.
