Ostrich Egg and Abalone Custard with African Caviar

The ostrich egg has a lot more yolk than normal eggs, so it is very rich and needs to be respected. Don't miss this exclusive dish by Peter Tempelhoff (chef at Fyn, Cape Town), who gets his eggs from Outeniqua, South Africa, between the months of August and May.
