Yield Makes about 36 hors d’oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup Sauternes or other white dessert wine
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (from a 1/4-ounce envelope)
2 tablespoons water
1 (1-inch-thick) slice of foie gras terrine (6 ounces; not páté or mousse) or a 6 1/2-ounces block
6 (1/2-inch-thick) slices firm white bread (pullman loaf or firm sandwich bread)
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Equipment: a small offset spatula

Steps:

  • Lightly oil a shallow 8-inch square baking dish or pan and line bottom and sides with a sheet of plastic wrap.
  • Bring Sauternes and sugar to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over water in a small bowl and let soften 1 minute. Pour hot wine over gelatin mixture, then stir until gelatin has dissolved. Cool to room temperature.
  • Pour wine-gelatin mixture into lined dish and chill, covered, until set, at least 4 hours.
  • Lift gelée out of dish using plastic wrap and transfer to a cutting board. Cut gelée into 3/4-inch squares (without cutting through plastic).
  • Cut foie gras into 1-inch squares (about 1/4 inch thick). Transfer squares with offset spatula to a tray lined with plastic wrap, then top each with a square of gelée (you will have extra gelée). Chill, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to serve.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in upper third.
  • Trim crusts from bread, then brush with butter and cut 6 (1 1/4-inch) squares from each slice. Arrange in a 4-sided sheet pan and bake until golden, about 6 minutes.
  • Top toasts with foie-gras-and-gelée stacks.

I've never been a fan of foie gras, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The Sauternes gelée was especially nice.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my foie gras toasts turned out really dry. I think I must have overcooked the foie gras.

This recipe is definitely not for beginners. It's a bit tricky to get the foie gras cooked perfectly.

This recipe was a waste of time and money. The foie gras was tough and the Sauternes gelée was bland.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I would prefer to try a simpler foie gras recipe next time.

The foie gras was a bit too fatty for my liking, but the Sauternes gelée was amazing! I would definitely use the gelée again in other dishes.

The foie gras toasts were delicious, but the Sauternes gelée was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would prefer to use a different type of jelly or compote next time.

This dish was surprisingly easy to make, even though it looks very fancy. The foie gras was cooked perfectly and the Sauternes gelée was simple to prepare. The toasts were the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this recipe again.

This foie gras toast recipe was an absolute delight! The combination of the rich, buttery foie gras with the sweet and tangy Sauternes gelée was simply divine. The toasts were perfectly crisp and added a nice textural contrast to the smooth foie gras
