Cured Egg Yolks
Cured Egg Yolks are surprisingly easy to make and can be grated over your favorite foods!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ Cups kosher salt
- 1 Cup granulated sugar
- 5 Egg yolks
Instructions
- Whisk the salt and sugar together so that they are completely combined.
- Put about ¾ cup of the salt/sugar mixture at the bottom of a glass dish. Make indentations for the egg yolks in the mixture using the back of a spoon. Carefully lay the egg yolks into the indentations, being careful not to break them. Cover the eggs with the remaining salt and sugar mixture. Seal the dish and refrigerate for 5-7 days.
- (Don't waste the egg whites! Make yourself an egg white omelet.)
- After 5-7 days, remove the eggs from the dish. Brush off the curing mixture, gently rinse them under water and pat dry.
- Heat an oven to 175 degrees. Spray a cooling rack with cooking spray and lay the yolks on top. Dry the yolks in the warm oven for 1 hour.
- Your yolks are ready to grate!
