Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (375 mL) kosher salt
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) of sugar
  • 6 egg yolks

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Mix salt and sugar in medium bowl until evenly incorporated. Spread half of the seasoned salt mixture in small glass baking dish. Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, make 6 evenly spaced indentations. Spoon your egg yolks into each indentation. Gently cover yolks with remaining mixture. Gently! Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for four days.

    On day 4, preheat your oven to 170°F. Remove egg yolks from salt mixture and carefully rinse in water or brush off with a food brush. Place yolks on rack in small rimmed baking sheet. Discard any remaining salt mixture.

  • Step 3

    Bake 3 hours or until yolks are firm enough to slice or grate.
