  • For variety add a sweet option to your savory selection with fig jam or finely chopped figs to sprinkle on top.

Notes

  • If stirring foie gras is necessary, fold gently to prevent incorporating air into the mixture.
  • Use a cookie cutter to shape the gingerbread or other special bread to make the dish look amazing.
  • Duck or Goose foie gras will work well here.
  • Gingerbread is recommended here, but use any canapé crackers
  • French baguette, brioche toast, or any bread type you like.
  • Cognac or Dry Red Wine - replace carefully as this will affect the flavor of your finished product.
  • Choose a fruit wine or flavored vinegar.
  • Figs can be swapped with other favorite fruits.
