- 1/4 tsp saffron
- 1/4 tsp salt
- pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Separate yolks from whites, use the egg whites for an omelet or another great recipe.
- In a double boiler add water to the bottom pot, bring water to a boil and then reduce to medium heat.
- Whisk egg yolks with lemon juice and water, add salt and pepper.

Notes
You need to find the sweet spot for temperature. Too hot and you end up with scrambled eggs. Too cool and the mixture will not emulsify.
