  • Immerse 6 eggs in a large pot or container of water with a sous vide insert. Set temperature to 148.1 degrees F (64.5 degrees C); cook for 1 hour. Let eggs cool in a bowl of tepid water for 10 minutes.
  • Turn on your faucet to very low. Crack each cooked egg into your hand carefully and let the white drip away under the water. Place yolks in a bowl.
  • Combine flour, sea salt, and baking powder in a small bowl. Whisk the remaining egg in a second bowl. Spread breadcrumbs on a plate.
  • Heat about 1 1/2 inches oil in a large saucepan to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C).
  • Roll each yolk gently in the flour mixture. Dip into the egg wash and roll in the breadcrumbs. Place coated yolks in the hot oil; fry until lightly golden brown, about 30 seconds. Drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle lemon zest and truffle salt on top.
