What Are Graved Eggs?

Graved eggs are salt-cured egg yolks. The name comes from the method of preparation, which is similar to the process of making gravlax.

If you’ve never tried graved eggs before, give it a try! They are so easy to prepare and taste delicious!


What is Curing?

Curing is a food preparation process that preserves food by treating it with salt, nitrites, or nitrates.

What Do Graved Eggs Taste Like?

Graved eggs taste like sweet-salty egg yolk. The consistency will get more firm as you allow the yolks to cure in the sugar-salt mixture.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

  • Egg yolks – the main star of the recipe!
  • Sugar – adds a touch of delicious sweetness to your eggs
  • Salt – the curing ingredient required to prepare graved eggs

How to Make Graved Eggs

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and salt until well-combined.
  2. In a wide shallow container, add 1/2 of the sugar-salt mixture, making sure that the bottom of the container is evenly covered.
  3. Using a spoon, create 4 small holes and gently place an egg yolk in each hole.
  4. Pour the remaining sugar-salt mixture until the yolks are completely covered.
  5. Let it rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours (for a runny middle) up to 3 1/2 days (for a firmly cured egg that you can shave on pasta, salads, and more!)
  6. Using a slotted spoon, gently pick up an egg yolk and rinse it in a bowl of water. Repeat with the remaining egg yolks.
  7. Your graved eggs are ready to eat! I especially love it on toast with a dash of hot sauce. ENJOY!
