This Way of Preparing Eggs Promises Perfect Yolk Porn Every Time

Can it get any better than a sunny side up egg with an extra runny center? Turns out that it can by curing the yolks. It’s just like making Scandinavian gravlax with salmon, only you use egg yolks instead. It’s so easy. Just let the yolks hang in a salt mixture for about an hour, gently rinse, and serve. Imagine these graved eggs on hot buttered toast or avocado toast. How European are we? Feeling fancy already.
