Crispy Deep-Fried Sous-Vide Egg Yolks

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup of vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. Fill a large saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs and bring to a boil.
2. Once boiling, carefully lower the eggs into the water and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the eggs for 8 minutes.
3. Once the eggs have cooked, transfer them to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. Gently tap the eggs to crack the shells, then peel away the shells.
4. Split each egg and carefully separate the yolks from the whites.
5. Mash the yolks with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
6. Place the mashed yolks on a plate and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
7. Once the yolks have frozen, dip each one in the flour and coat evenly.
8. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
9. Carefully place the floured yolks in the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
10. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
