  • 3 12 cups sugar
  • 2 12 cups kosher salt
  • 12 egg yolks

Step 1

Stir sugar and kosher salt in a bowl; spread half in a baking dish. Lay yolks in dish; gently pack remaining sugar mixture over the top. Cover with plastic wrap; chill 1 week. Transfer yolks to a baking sheet fitted with a cheesecloth-covered rack. Cover with another layer of cheesecloth; set in a ventilated spot until dry and firm, 2–3 weeks.
