Ingredients
  

For the Hot Honey Cured Egg Yolks:

4 large egg yolks

1/2 cup honey

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)

Pinch of salt

For the Chive Cottage Cheese:

1 cup cottage cheese

2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

For Serving:

4 slices sourdough bread

Olive oil (for drizzling)

Extra crushed red pepper flakes (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cure the Egg Yolks:

    - In a bowl, mix the honey, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt.

      - Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites, keeping the yolks intact.

        - Gently place the yolks in the honey mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged.

          - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours (up to 48 hours for a firmer texture).

            Prepare the Chive Cottage Cheese:

              - In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, chopped chives, salt, pepper, and lemon juice (if using).

                - Mix well until creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

                  Toast the Sourdough:

                    - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

                      - Arrange the sourdough slices on a baking sheet.

                        - Drizzle lightly with olive oil and toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy.

                          Assemble the Dish:

                            - Once the egg yolks are cured, gently remove them from the honey mixture and rinse under cold water to remove excess honey and red pepper flakes. Pat dry carefully.

                              - Spread a generous layer of chive cottage cheese over each slice of toasted sourdough.

                                - Place a cured egg yolk on top of each toast.

                                  - Drizzle a touch more of hot honey over the yolk and sprinkle with extra crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

                                    Serve and Enjoy:

                                      - Serve immediately while the toast is still warm, and savor the rich flavors that come together beautifully.
