Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 4 min.
Stage 2 - ⌛ 2 min.
Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.
Add 4 tablespoons poultry cooking juices, 4 tablespoons dry white wine, salt and pepper, then mix again.

Brown well on both sides.
Stage 8

Remarks
For a more gourmet version, leave out the milk and double the amount of cream.
If you don't have poultry juices, meat juices or a little broth will work just as well. If you don't want to use any, remember to add a little more salt.
Just before serving, you can add a dash of white wine, or even a few drops of vinegar, to the slices of bread for a touch of freshness.
