Ingredients: 8 oz yellow potatoes; 1 pinch saffron threads; 2 tbsp lime juice; 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided; 1/4 cup ripe avocado; 2 oz lump crab meat; 2 large eggs; 1.5 tbsp ají amarillo paste; 3 tbsp neutral oil; 2 tbsp sliced shallots; 1 tsp white vinegar; Sea salt and white pepper to taste; 1 tsp crispy fried shallots for garnish; Cilantro leaves for garnish

This Peruvian take on the classic causa—a cold potato terrine—becomes breakfast theatre: delicate layers of saffron-tinted mashed potato, avocado mousse, and fresh crab meet a perfectly poached egg with a runny yolk, crowned with crispy fried shallots and ají amarillo-infused oil. Elegant, rich, and unforgettable.
