Le Bernardin's "Egg"

Le Bernardin's "Egg"
Michael Laiskonis may have retired as pastry chef of Le Bernardin, but his legacy... or eggacy... lives on. Although never offered on a written menu, the secret egg dessert has still managed to develop a big following. The 3-bite pastry dish composed of milk chocolate crème brûlée, caramel custard foam, caramel sauce, and sea salt served inside an egg might be small, but has made a mark on the diners. Former first lady Laura Bush even asked for the recipe so she could have it on the menu for the White House Easter brunch.
