Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - ⌛ 4 min.
Savoury French toast : Stage 1
Remove the 4 slices bread crust and cut into 2.
I'm using sourdough bread here, a little rustic and stale, but you can use whatever you like.

Set aside.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 2 min.
Savoury French toast : Stage 2
Pour 60 g liquid cream, 60 g whole milk and 2 egg yolks into a large bowl and whisk to combine.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 3 min.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 10 min.
Savoury French toast : Stage 5
Leave to rest for at least 10 minutes, turning 1 or 2 times so that the bread absorbs as much of the mixture as possible.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 4 min.
Savoury French toast : Stage 6
In a large frying pan over high heat, pour 50 g butter and, when frothy, place the soaked bread slices on top.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 5 min.

Stage 8

Serve piping hot, on its own or with meat or vegetables.
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.
Keeping: Enjoy immediately.

Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.

Home-made terrine of foie gras
Preparing your own home-made foie gras from raw is immensively satisfying: good quality liver and a simply amazing flavour – much better than anything you can buy. This recipe is a bit tricky, but quite within everyone's grasp, as long as you follow the 3 most delicate stages carefully. These are, in order: de-veining the liver, seasoning and cooking. As usual, I have explained every stage of the recipe in full, with photos to help you.
