Ingredients

  • 8 (1 1/2-by-1-inch) pieces black, rye, or sourdough bread

  • Butter

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 cup yuzu juice

  • 8 to 16 pieces sea urchin

  • 1 small jalapeno, thinly sliced crosswise

  • Maldon sea salt

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Lightly toast bread pieces until crispy on the outside but still chewy inside; butter one side of each piece of toast and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water. Place 1/2 cup yuzu juice in a small saucepan and whisk in cornstarch mixture. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in remaining 1/2 cup yuzu juice. Pour yuzu mixture immediately into a bowl set in an ice water-bath. Let cool completely.

  3. Step 3

    Top each piece of buttered toast with 1 or 2 pieces of sea urchin and a piece of jalapeno. Spoon over cooled yuzu mixture; serve immediately.
