Have yolks left from a recipe? Get curing. Don't want to wait? Cure the yolks and freeze the whites in ice cube trays.

Ideas for Cured Egg Yolks:

1. Grate on top of hot pasta the way you would hard cheese.

2. Shave over white bean crostini for a hit of salt and color.

3. Dissolve thin shavings in a brothy soup to add body.

4. Crumble over simply cooked veggies like steamed bok choy or asparagus.

5. Double up and use to season a crispy fried egg. Super meta.
