Deep Fried Sous Vide Egg Yolks
These deep-fried egg yolks are a game-changer. The sous vide cooking process ensures that the yolks stay lusciously runny inside while the outer layer turns golden brown and crispy. Trust me, the combination of textures is incredible!

Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients to prepare this delightful dish:
- 4 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs (for breading)
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs (panko is preferred for extra crunch)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Follow these steps to create your delicious deep-fried egg yolks:
- Start by sous vide cooking the eggs. Preheat your sous vide water bath to 63°C (145°F). Carefully place the eggs in their shells into the water bath and cook for 1 hour.
- Once the time is up, remove the eggs from the water and gently crack the shells. Use a spoon to carefully scoop out the yolks, taking care not to break them.
- Season the yolks with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Gently roll each yolk in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Make sure they are thoroughly coated for that perfect crunch!
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully lower the breaded yolks into the oil, frying them in small batches for about 30 seconds or until golden brown.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried yolks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
Pair these delectable deep-fried sous vide egg yolks with a dipping sauce of your choice—maybe a spicy aioli or a tangy salsa. They are sure to be a hit at your next gathering!
