Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 4 min.
Savoury French toast
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
Pour 60 g liquid cream, 60 g whole milk and 2 egg yolks into a large bowl and whisk to combine.

Stage 3 - 2 min.
Savoury French toast
Add 4 tablespoons poultry cooking juices, 4 tablespoons dry white wine, salt and pepper, then mix again.

Stage 4 - 3 min.
Savoury French toast
Pour the mixture onto a large plate, place the pieces of bread on top and turn them over.

Stage 5 - 10 min.
Savoury French toast
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
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.
Savoury French toast
Brown well on both sides.

Stage 8
Savoury French toast
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.
