About

My First Discovery of Brunch was at Hug’s an Italian place around the corner from the Sunset Marquis. They had this dish of Tagliatelle with eggs, Bacon and Spinach, like a carbonara. At First it seemed weird for Breakfast, but eggs and bacon work, and the natural Partners for Asparagus are egg and cheese, Particularly parmesan

Ingredients

Confit egg yolks

vegetable oil
4 duck egg yolks

Method

To confit the egg yolks

Half fill a small saucepan with vegetable oil. Carefully add the egg yolks, making sure you keep them separate, and cook in the oven at 65°C for 1 hour.
