Foie Gras Breakfast Sandwich Recipes

FOIE-GRAS-AND-JAM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Lay the slices of bread on a bread board. Spread the foie gras mousse on 4 of the slices. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Spread the jam on the other 4 slices of bread. Join the jam slices with the foie gras slices to make 4 sandwiches.
• Using a bread knife, cut off the crusts with gentle sawing motions, then cut the sandwiches diagonally into quarters so you end up with triangles. Stack on a serving platter and march them out to the party.

FOIE GRAS PB AND J

Steps:

• For the honey-cashew butter:.
• Combine the cashews, honey, oil and some salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until a thick paste forms.
• For the sandwich:.
• Slice the bun open and place in a small frying pan with the butter over low heat until toasted and golden brown. Set aside.
• With a paring knife, score the foie gras in a diamond pattern and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the foie gras and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 20 minutes.
• Spread 1 teaspoon of the honey-cashew butter on the bottom bun and pepper jelly on the top bun. (Reserve the remaining honey-cashew butter for another use.) Place the foie gras on top of the honey-cashew butter and garnish with the strawberry slices, crushed cashews and chopped chives. Top with the jelly bun.

FOIE GRAS BREAKFAST SANDWICH

Steps:

• To make the maple mustard, bring the maple syrup to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat and boil for about 6 minutes, or until the bubbles increase in size. Remove from the heat, let cool for about 3 minutes, then whisk in the prepared mustard, the mustard seeds, and the pepper. Let cool completely before using. Maple mustard stores well in a tight-capped container in the fridge for at least a couple of weeks.
• The best thing to have for this operation is one of those plug-in flat, nonstick griddles, the kind the tasting ladies have in the grocery store. You can cook your egg, bacon, and muffin on the griddle while you blast the liver on the stove top. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C); this is to keep the bacon warm after cooking or to blast the foie if need be. Turn on the griddle and set to medium-high heat. When the griddle is ready, cook the bacon until the edges are golden brown and lightly crispy, fry the egg over easy, and toast the cut sides of the muffin.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan over high heat. When the frying pan is superhot, add the liver and cook, turning once, until nicely colored. You want a good color on the foie gras, kind of like the skin of a roasted chicken. This will take only a minute or two total in a very hot pan. Remember to flip the liver away from you so you don't splash your belly. Carefully transfer the liver to a baking sheet. If the liver is still hard to the touch, put it in the oven for a minute or two. The fat that collects in the baking sheet (but not the fat from the frying pan) is good to drizzle on the muffin.
• Now build your sandwich: start with a muffin half, cut side up, and top it with the bacon, the egg, and the foie. Drizzle the stack with a little mustard, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and top with the other muffin half.
