Ingredients:
1 loaf soft white bread, sliced into 30 pieces |
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for muffin tins |
3/4 cup heavy cream |
1/2 pound raw chicken breast meat, cut into small dice |
1/4 pound prosciutto ham, cut into small dice |
freshly ground black pepper to taste |
1 egg yolk |
1/4 cup grated parmesan, plus more as needed for topping |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
2. With a rolling pin, roll out each bread slice until thin. Cut out bread with plain round cutter 1 1/2 inches in diameter and flatten again with a rolling pin. Oil small muffin tins and place the bread rounds inside. Bake until golden. Store the croustade shells covered in a dry area.
3. Reduce the cream by half and reserve until needed. Saute the chicken in 1 tablespoon oil until half cooked. Add the prosciutto and continue to cook until is thoroughly heated and chicken is thoroughly cooked. Add the cream and black pepper, to taste; bring to a simmer. Add a little hot cream to the egg yolk to temper and add to pot, being careful not to boil. Add the cheese, basil, and parsley. Adjust seasoning. Fill the croustade shells; sprinkle with a little additional grated Parmesan and brown lightly under a broiler or salamander. Serve warm.
