Hard-Boiled Egg Yolk Balls

Ingredients

• 2 Hard-boiled egg yolks
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 0.0625 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (Pinch)
• 0.5 teaspoon Melted butter
• 1 Raw egg yolk (As needed)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (For rolling)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (For sautéing)

Instructions

1. 1Carefully push the hard-boiled egg yolks through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. This will create a smooth, fine texture.
2. 2Add salt and cayenne pepper to the sieved egg yolks. Mix well to combine.
3. 3Add the melted butter and a small amount of raw egg yolk to the mixture, mixing until you achieve a consistency that can be easily handled and shaped. Form the mixture into small balls, about 1/2 inch in diameter.
4. 4Gently roll each egg yolk ball in flour, ensuring they are lightly coated on all sides.
5. 5Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Once melted and hot, carefully place the flour-coated egg yolk balls into the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly golden brown on all sides.
6. 6Serve the sautéed egg yolk balls hot in Brown Soup Stock, Consommé, or Mock Turtle Soup. They can also be served as a garnish for other dishes.
