Ingredients:

  • 2 slices of fresh foie gras (approximately 2 oz each)

  • 2 tbsp fig compote
  • Micro basil leaves for garnish
  • Edible flowers (optional)

  2. Toast the Brioche: Lightly toast the brioche slices until golden and cut into circular shapes to match the size of the foie gras.
  3. Plate the Dish: Place the toasted brioche in the center of the plate and position the seared foie gras on top.
  4. Add the Glaze: Drizzle balsamic glaze around the foie gras in an artistic swirl or lines to create visual interest.
  5. Garnish: Add a small quenelle of fig compote beside the foie gras, and scatter micro basil leaves and edible flowers around the plate. Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the foie gras for an added touch.


Pro Tip:

For an even more polished presentation, use a squeeze bottle to control the precision of your balsamic glaze drizzle.
