# Cereal-Encrusted Eggs Dude Foods Created Deep Fried Fruit Loops-Breaded Sous Vide Egg Yolks By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-11-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sous-vide-egg-yolks References: [dudefoods](http://dudefoods.com/deep-fried-froot-loops-breaded-sous-vide-egg-yolks/) Inspired by his new crowdfunded Anova [Precision Cooker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anova), Dude Foods's Nick Chipman created this recipe for sous vide egg yolks -- but with a twist. The deep fried treats are breaded with [Fruit Loops cereal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kelloggs-cocoa-loops). He also considered breading them with bacon pieces like Culinary Bro-Down's Doritos-crusted sous vide egg yolk. The Deep Fried Froot Loops Breaded Sous Vide Egg Yolks revamps a sous vide egg yolk croquettes recipe by coating the yolks in cereal rather than bread crumbs, keeping with a breakfast food theme. Cooking them in the Anova machine gives the yolks a custard-like texture that is so enjoyable, according to Chipman, that going back to eating regular eggs seems like a near-impossible task. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Alternative Food Coatings:** There is a potential disruptive innovation opportunity to explore the use of alternative coatings for food items like cereal coating rather than traditional breadcrumbs. - **Sous Vide Cooking:** There is a potential disruptive innovation opportunity to explore the use of sous vide cooking for egg yolks and other breakfast foods to create unique and enjoyable textures. - **Breakfast-themed Dishes:** There is a potential disruptive innovation opportunity to create more breakfast-themed dishes and incorporate iconic breakfast cereal brands into non-traditional breakfast items. ### Where This Applies - **Food Manufacturing:** Food manufacturers could explore the use of cereal coatings and sous vide cooking to create unique and innovative food items. - **Restaurant:** Restaurants could potentially create new breakfast-themed dishes that incorporate cereal coatings and sous vide cooking techniques. - **Crowdfunding:** Crowdfunding platforms could potentially be used to fund the creation and launch of new food products that utilize unique coatings and cooking techniques like cereal coatings and sous vide cooking. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Versatile Sous-Vide Egg Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egglands-best-sous-vide-egg-rounds.md) - [Viral Egg Tasting Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egg-flights.md) - [Cereal-Coated Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-bunches-of-oats-chocolate.md) - [Fried Egg-Flavored Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-egg-potato-chips.md) - [Sous Vide Egg Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omelet-bites.md) - [Runny Vegan Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runny-plant-based-eggs.md) - [Breakfast-Inspired Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-egg-easter.md) - [Savory Egg Croffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croffle-savory.md) - [Easter Popcorn Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-fried-egg-choccorn.md)
