With this recipe, we remove the egg white and focus on perfecting the yolk itself, preserving its natural shape throughout the cooking process. The result? What is usually a subsidiary ingredient shines as a centerpiece you can use in just about any dish.You can play with different temperatures and cooking times for various textures, but we found that cooking the yolks between [c 62] and [c 65] for one or two hours works best. Serve hot or cold as desired. We love ours with <a href="/activities/sous-vide-carrots">Sous Vide Carrots</a> and <a href="/activities/hazelnut-nasturtium-crumble">Hazelnut Nasturtium Crumble</a>.
