Salted Egg Yolk Lava Bun

Recipe by Trish yee
Singaporean loves salted egg yolk. From pasta, fish skins, cookies, fries, meat and even bubble tea! We simply love salted egg yolk in everything.
This recipe was inspired by the curry croquettes bun I saw in BreakTalk. The thought of making a sweet bun dough from scratch is quite intimidating and it is really time consuming! So I came up with the idea of using our white bread to replace the dough and coat it in eggs and breadcrumbs to resemble the croquette texture. And tadaah! Here we are, a salted egg yolk lava bun which is cheap and easy to make and it makes a prefect snack for party!
The salted egg yolk filling can be freeze up to 3 months in the freezer. Sometimes I even use it to make french toast and molten lava custard bun.
PS. Salted egg yolk is highly addictive. So remember to eat in moderation!
