A surprising asparagus dish to impress your guests

4 people

60 minutes

  • 18 Cocovite pasteurized shell eggs
  • 50g clarified butter
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • 50ml sunflower oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Start by preparing the egg mimosa by boiling 8 pasteurized shell eggs in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes. Once the eggs are cooked, shock them in a bowl of cold water to make peeling easier. Carefully peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces. Melt the clarified butter and mix it with the finely chopped eggs and fresh parsley to create a creamy mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and set aside.

For the yolk cream, freeze 10 pasteurized shell eggs for 48 hours at a temperature of -20°C. Remove the frozen eggs from the freezer one hour before use to allow them to slightly thaw. Separate the yolks from the whites as soon as possible and keep only the yolks. Add a splash of sunflower oil to the yolks and blend the mixture with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Make sure to shock the eggs in ice-cold water after boiling; this prevents the shell from sticking to the egg.
  • For an extra fluffy cream, gradually add the oil while mixing to ensure a perfect emulsion.
