Introduction to Salt Cured Egg Yolk
Matthew’s newest obsession is salt Cured Egg Yolk! So much so that lately our fridge is full of plates and bowls of salt and egg yolks leaving me no room to store any of our other food. If you don’t believe me check out the video below of Matt showing you exactly how to make them. His excitement says it all! And, if I’m being a little honest, these are incredibly impressive and delicious. They are worth trying at least once.
What To Do With Leftover Egg Yolks
Time after time we find ourselves making recipes where only the egg whites are needed, such as in our Low Carb Tortilla recipe. We often get emails asking us what can be done with all the leftover yolks, and we have just the answer for you. Cure them! Not only is it something you’ve likely never tried or thought to do, but the flavorful outcome makes it worth all the time you invest in making them! We now like to have at least three or four on hand to give a flavor boost to some of our meals.
How Should You Use A Cured Egg Yolk
To be honest, the only way we’ve used our cured egg yolks thus far has been thinly sliced on salads, and it seems like it doesn’t get much better. The yolks not only make all the other flavors in your salad pop, but add a nice little salty bite! However, the yolks would definitely be a great garnish grated on top of pastas, meats, veggies, you name it! The cooking process makes it soft enough to thinly slice, but hard enough to grate with a cheese grater.
Cured Egg Yolk Recipe and Uses
If you are looking for recipes to add the cured egg yolks to you should make our Fat Bomb Pasta! The simple, creamy Alfredo sauce would come to life even more with some cured egg yolk grated and mixed in. We’ve provided you the instructions to make a salt cured egg yolk below, however, you can get a little wild and make erythritol cured egg yolks too!
