Salted Egg Yolks

[Barriehie]

I'm pretty sure these are just to be used as garnish, just FYI, not eaten as a whole yolk in 1 go. Not sure if you meant that or not, just wanted to put it out there.

Thank you. Yes, I was thinking like all in one go.

medtran49 - quick question: when you wrap these in cheesecloth to further dry in the fridge for another week, I’m assuming they’re not in an airtight container (which would seem to defeat the purpose), but out on a little plate or something, so they get exposure to the air - is that correct? Thanks.

Yes. I think I wrapped them in good quality paper towels.

I have used one egg per steak.
But I did rinse them pretty thoroughly before finishing with the ovens dehydrator setting.

I have also used a whole egg yolk in the breakfast rolls I made and froze so the boys had a grab and run roll on their way to uni. They got rave reviews

Would be interested to know how they taste after boiling.

Ok, here’s the first thing I did with my cured egg yolks:

Grated over some oven fries/chips. I didn’t really taste much of anything, but MrsT said they had an eggy-parmy taste that wasn’t unpleasant.

I think I’m making asparagus with prosciutto later today, so I’ll grate some on that as well.

medtran49 - how long would you say these things last? I’m thinking quite a while, since they’re salt-cured.

So you've got some now for that undercover salad right?

No clue, they have never lasted long here, as I've only made them for a planned dish. With all that sugar and salt though, probably for a good bit.

And eggy, parmy taste is also what I've gotten.
