Prep time: 2 min
Total time: 2 min
Yield: 150 g
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 3 eggs

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 2 min.

Preparation is very easy: put 3 eggs in a high-sided container or blender goblet.

Stage 2

Blend for a few seconds...

Stage 3

...your glaze is ready.

Note: If there is foam on the surface, let the glaze rest for a few minutes, then skim off the foam with a tablespoon.

Stage 4

You can prepare glaze in advance and freeze it: pour into ice cube trays.

Space out over the tray to facilitate cooling, and freeze for several hours.

Stage 5

When the glaze is frozen, turn out...

Stage 6

...bag up, and keep in the freezer.

Thaw the cubes as needed.

Remarks

Despite all that you might read in books or websites, it's not a good idea to use egg yolk on its own, as it tends to burn quickly during cooking.

Keeping: 1 day in the fridge, in a sealed jar.
