Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Immerse 6 eggs in a large pot or heat-proof container of water with a sous vide cooker. Set temperature to 148.1 degrees F (64.5 degrees C); cook for 1 hour. Let eggs cool in a bowl of tepid water for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Turn on your kitchen faucet to very low. Crack each cooked egg carefully into your hand; let the white drip away under the water. Place yolks in a bowl.
Step 3
Combine flour, sea salt, and baking powder in a small bowl. Whisk the remaining egg in a second bowl. Spread bread crumbs onto a plate.
Step 4
Heat about 1 1/2 inches oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
Step 5
Roll one yolk gently in flour mixture. Dip into beaten egg; let excess drip back into the bowl. Roll in the breadcrumbs. Place breaded yolk onto a plate. Repeat with remaining yolks.
Step 6
Lower yolks carefully into hot oil, in batches if necessary. Fry until lightly golden brown, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat frying and draining if necessary. Sprinkle lemon zest and truffle salt on top.
