Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Spread in a ½-inch-thick layer in a container with a tight-fitting lid: Diamond kosher salt
-
Step 2.
Make indentations in the salt, creating as many indentations as the number of egg yolks you plan to cure. Place in each indentation: 1 large chicken or duck egg yolk
-
Step 3.
Cover the yolks completely by gently adding more: Diamond kosher salt
-
Step 4.
Cover the container and refrigerate for 1 week.

Step 5.
Unearth the egg yolks, brushing away any excess salt. Preheat the oven to its lowest setting (no higher than 200°F). Place the egg yolks on a rack set over a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake until the yolks are dry to the touch, 30 to 45 minutes.
