Bacon and eggs

Cooked some eggs at 66°C peeled and seperated the yolks. Seald the yolks in a vacuumbag and rolled flat. Cooked again at 72°C to firm up. Was still quite fragile. I cut of the edges of the bag removed one side cut the circle and then layed the whole thing upside down on the plate and peeled of the second plastic layer. Worked ok, but got the plate a bit messy. Have to try different temps for second cook. Served with bacon cooked at 63°C for 24h and the seared, also some sauted button mushrooms. Chives would've been pretty nice i think but didn't have any. Quite the umami bomb.

You know what would of looked really cool... streaks of sriracha coming off the edges of the yolk so it looked like a sun rise. Then you could of messed with the mushrooms some more so they resembled birds.

Now you're giving me ideas. basically all you gotta do is take some mushrooms with a more pronounced curve, like say shitake, remove the stem and slice them. I suppose that should look kinda like seagulls. I like the siracha idea, too. i did a quick test with the egg yolks today to see how different temps for the 2nd cook affect the texture. I tried 70C, 72C and 75C. 70 was just too soft. 75C was easier to handle, but i liked the way 72C feeld on the tongue so i guess i'll stick with that temp. I wonder what effect if any activa would have in the yolk... Well I'm out of eggs. Maybe i try that tommorrow.

I was wondering if you put some kind of fat on the plastic, if it would release the yolk easier with out screwing up the texture. The idea of the shiitakes is a great one. I might try this with a paprika sauce instead of the sriracha and make a crazy paprika cream sauce schnitzel with a SV egg on top. Hmm...

This is my favorite breakfast. I usually cook bacon in a Gotham Steel crisper tray. The Gotham Steel crisper tray has allowed me to change my diet radically by virtually eliminating all fried food https://blades.guru/how-to-use-gotham-steel-crisper-tray.
