MacKenzie Posted November 20, 2015 Report Posted November 20, 2015 I thought it was time for an extra treat this morning. It all started 5 days ago when I put an egg yolk into a bowl with a mix of salt and sugar, covered it and put it in the fridge for 4 days. Next step was to take it out of the salt/sugar mixture, bush it off and do a final little wash with water to get rid of the rest of the salt/sugar mixture. Finally dry in the dehydrator for 2 hours at 150F. After the 4 days- All dried and shaved with the micro plane. I decided to try it on an Sous Vide egg and serve with some previously KK smoked bacon, KK smoked gouda cheese, sour dough bread and add a little colour. The interior of the SV egg with shaved egg yolk. Time for a nice cuppa.

MacKenzie Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Posted December 15, 2015 I made some spaghetti today and thought I'd try some of the cured egg yolk on top -
CeramicChef Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 Wow, MacKenzie! Beautiful plate of pasta. So what exactly does a cured yolk taste like?
MacKenzie Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Posted December 15, 2015 It has a mild flavour, a little salty and very creamy. That's the best I can say.
PRippley Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 Good description for me! Looks like a gastronomic delight, MacKenzie!
ckreef Posted December 15, 2015 Report Posted December 15, 2015 I'll say it again, awesome egg idea. I would put that on a lot of different dishes. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
