Step by step recipe

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.
2	Pour 60 g liquid cream, 60 g whole milk and 2 egg yolks into a large bowl and whisk to combine.
3	Add 4 tablespoons poultry cooking juices, 4 tablespoons dry white wine, salt and pepper, then mix again.
4	Pour the mixture onto a large plate, place the pieces of bread on top and turn them over.
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.
6	In a large frying pan over high heat, pour 50 g butter and, when frothy, place the soaked bread slices on top.
7	Brown well on both sides.
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.
