A food creator has revealed her method for achieving perfectly jammy egg yolks, creating a 'luxurious' breakfast topping. Nadia Aidi, known as Food My Muse on TikTok, shared her recipe that focuses solely on the yolks, discarding the whites.
In a video posted earlier this year, Aidi demonstrated how to enhance the yolks' silky, gooey consistency. The process involves separating the yolks, then gently heating them over simmering water while stirring for about 90 seconds until they thicken slightly. Butter is then mixed in, and the mixture is seasoned with salt.
Aidi emphasised that this is not a hollandaise sauce, despite some comparisons. She explained that the technique and ingredient ratios differ significantly, with hollandaise requiring much more butter and vinegar. Her method, she said, is closer to a curd.
The video has garnered over 144,700 views and 6,100 likes, with viewers praising the recipe. One commenter called it 'a dream I didn't know I had', while another suggested using it on carbonara bruschetta.
To serve, Aidi recommends spreading the yolk mixture on garlic-rubbed toast, then topping with lemon zest, chives, flaky salt, and pepper. The result, she says, is 'rich, comforting, and luxurious'.
