The nuts need to be chopped. It is more convenient to use a blender for this, but you can also just chop finely.Boil the eggs, cool them and separate the whites from the yolks. Grate them into separate containers using a fine grater. Grate the hard cheese finely too.Place the poultry fillet on a plate.If necessary, add salt and grease with mayonnaise.
