Ingredients:
Bacon Emulsion:
- 4 ounces bacon jus
- 10 grams lecithin
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- Salt, to taste
Coddled Eggs:
- 4 extra-large organic farm eggs
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- Salt and white pepper, to taste
To Assemble and Serve:
- 1 ounce Yellowstone Paddlefish Caviar
Method:
For the Bacon Emulsion:
Combine the bacon jus, lecithin and butter with a hand blender
and season to taste.
For the Coddled Eggs:
Butter the inside of a glass jar or coddler and the inside
of its metal lid. Break an egg into the coddler and season
with salt and pepper. Screw on the lid and stand the coddler
in a bain marie, making sure the water comes halfway up the
glass body of the coddler. Simmer for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove
the coddler from the water, blot on a towel and serve on a
cloth-lined serving plate.
To Assemble and Serve:
Place a caviar quenelle on each egg, top with bacon emulsion,
then reseal the coddler. Serve in the coddler with crackers,
Lavash or Brioche.
