"Sweet or savoury, I'm not sure - but I do know it's delicious. Don't be put off by the yeast extract - there is such a small amount, rather than making it taste of it, it just adds an underlying richness, and a lovely salty savoury hint. And of course, you can't really go wrong with nuts and syrup. The rose petals are totally optional, but I think it just makes it looks a bit prettier."

  • Step 2/8

    Separate the eggs, and bring a pan of water to a gentle simmer over a low heat. Slowly place the egg yolks in the water one by one, and simmer for 30-40 seconds or until the outside has solidified and the inside seems soft. Place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess liquid. Sprinkle with sea salt whilst they are still warm.

  • Step 5/8

    On a floured surface, using slightly wet hands or a rolling pin (I would advise against using a rolling pin) press/roll it into a small disk. Place a poached egg yolk into the centre and fold the almonds around it. Repeat for the four egg yolks.
