Ingredients:
- for pain perdue (french toast)
- 4 thick slices of brioche (please see my recipe)
- 4 eggs
- for carmelized pears
- 1/2 cup calvados brandy
- pinch of white pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 200 (or warm setting).
- Beat eggs, cream, spices and salt together in shallow square dish. Melt butter in non-stick large skillet, med-high heat. Dip brioche into egg mixture, careful to not over soak. Fry brioche in skillet on each side until golden brown. Transfer to baking sheet, place in oven to keep warm.
- Wipe that same skillet with a paper towel. Turn heat to high. If using fresh whole foie gras, score each side in criss cross pattern with sharp knife. Sear foie on each side, about 1 minute to sear. (Be careful not to cook to long because it will just melt away!) Place seared foie on french toast slices and place back in oven to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, soak excess duck fat with paper towel but leave enough in there for flavor. Melt 2 tbsp butter and add pears, sauté for 1 minute or until they are soft. Add brown sugar, white pepper and thyme and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add Calvados and flambé with long matchstick (stand back!). Let flames die down by swirling the skillet Reduce slightly, about a minute. You want to get the juices to syrup consistency.
- Remove foie on pain perdue from the oven and place one on each plate. pour pear sauce over, dropping several pieces of pear around plate. Garnish with additional fresh thyme.
