Ingredients
12 - 24 fresh egg yolks
2 - 4 cups hot sauce of your choice
Tools
container Large with Lid
Directions
Step 1
Carefully separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, ensuring no traces of egg whites remain on the yolks. This is crucial to achieve the desired texture.
Step 2
Choose a hot sauce that aligns with your heat tolerance and flavor preference. Whether you opt for a smoky chipotle sauce or a blazing habanero blend, the choice is yours.
Step 3
In a large container with a lid, pour enough hot sauce to completely submerge the egg yolks. The hot sauce will not only infuse a fiery kick but also act as a preservative during the curing process.
Step 4
Seal the container with the lid and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the egg yolks to cure for about a week. During this time, the yolks will undergo a transformation, becoming firmer in texture while retaining a jam-like consistency.
Step 5
After the week is up, carefully remove the cured egg yolks from the hot sauce. You'll notice a vibrant hue and a tantalizing aroma that signals their readiness.
Step 6
Enjoy the hot sauce-cured egg yolks by spreading them over your chosen accompaniment. The yolks' creamy, jam-like texture will melt in your mouth, while the hot sauce imparts a flavorful and spicy punch.
