Pineapple Tarte Tatin with Salted Egg Sauce

Prepare Salted Eggs
- Separate the eggs and save the whites for other purposes. Put the yolks back in the shells.
- Mix salt and sugar and sprinkle over the yolks, making sure they are well covered in salt. Leave to brine for 24 hours.
*Not all eggs are needed for the recipe, but you can store them and use them for other purposes.
Prepare Salted Egg Custard
- Place a pot on a medium heat, add the cream and the sugar and let the sugar dissolve. Take off the heat.
- Beat the yolks with the corn starch. Gradually add the cream and continue to mix.
- Place 3 salted egg yolks in a food processor, add the custard mix and blend until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture back into the pan and heat until it thickens and starts to bubble. Take off the heat, let cool and cover.
Prepare Tarte Tatin
- Preheat the oven at 375°F.
- Caramelize the sugar in a saucepan. When the sugar starts browning and bubbling, add the butter, juice of a lemon, and the ginger.
- Grease 10 molds or ramekins. Pour in the ginger-caramel and divide the pineapple slices by overlapping them in the ramekins.
- With a round cutter, cut out circles of the puff pastry slightly bigger than the ramekins. Cover the pineapple with the pastry circles and bake for 10-15 minutes.
Finish the Dish
- Flip the Tarte Tatins onto plates. Serve with a quenelle of crème fraiche and the salted egg custard sauce on the side.

This recipe is a twist on the classic tarte tatin using caramelized pineapple tartes with a salted egg custard sauce.
