Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 4 min.
Stage 2 - 2 min.
Stage 3 - 2 min.
Add 2 tablespoons poultry cooking juices, 2 tablespoons dry white wine, salt and pepper, then mix again.
Stage 4 - 3 min.
Pour the mixture onto a large plate, place the pieces of bread on top and turn them over.
Stage 5 - 10 min.
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.
In a large frying pan over high heat, pour 25 g butter and, when frothy, place the soaked bread slices on top.
Stage 7 - 5 min.
Brown well on both sides.
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.
