Salt-Cure
Have you ever heard of this amazing way to eat egg yolks?! Turns out you can salt-cure them, in the same way you do salmon for gravlax. Also known as 'graving' eggs, this method is so easy and safe to try. All you need are fresh egg yolks and equal parts sugar and salt (enough to cover the yolks completely). Mix the sugar and salt together in a bowl. Pour 2/3 of the mixture into a casserole dish. Make wells in the mixture, and delicately slide the egg yolks into them, one by one. Cover with the remaining sugar-salt mixture and let sit at room temperature for 75 minutes. Carefully remove the egg yolks and brush off the excess salt and sugar, taking care not to break them. Serve as desired. They should have a similar texture to poached eggs.
