SEARED FOIE GRAS AND LINGONBERRY JAM ON BRIOCHE TOAST
Steps:
- Cut brioche into 3/4-inch-thick slices, then into 60 (1 1/2-inch) cubes. Heat 1 tablespoon butter with 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides. Cook brioche cubes, 12 at a time, until golden brown on top and bottom, about 3 minutes total. Transfer brioche as cooked to a rack to cool and sprinkle with salt to taste. Between batches, carefully wipe skillet clean with paper towels and add more butter and oil.
- Stir pepper and juice into jam. Chill jam, covered, until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut foie gras into 1- by 1/2-inch pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Reduce heat to moderate and cook foie gras, about 20 pieces at a time, until golden brown on both sides, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Transfer foie gras as cooked to a shallow baking pan with a spatula and arrange in 1 layer. Between batches, carefully wipe skillet clean.
- Reheat foie gras as needed in middle of oven 2 minutes, or until just hot, before assembling hors d'oeuvres. Just before serving, top toasts with lingonberry jam, then foie gras.
ED'S SEARED FOIE GRAS WITH ROASTED GARLIC ONION JAM
This was the most delectable, restaurant quality foie gras I have ever had! And I was served this at home, wearing blue jeans and crocs, sitting at the kitchen table drinking La Crema Chardonnay, all comfy and cozy. The way one should feel knowing there's no huge bill coming your way! DH used Stonewall Kitchen's Roasted Garlic Onion Jam for the sauce. If you've never tried it you really should. There are some great recipes on Zaar using the same jam so you can use it in many dishes. We love all their products! For the bread, we used French but any 1/2" slices of good tasting bread will do well.

Steps:
- Salt and pepper the foie gras.
- Heat 1.5 TBS of the butter in a skillet until lightly browned.
- Sear the foie gras quickly on both sides. If the foie gras is fresh you will only want to sear about 1-1.5 minutes per side. But if it has been frozen you'll want to sear about 2 minutes per side.
- Lay the warm, toasted bread slices on a serving plate and butter the tops using 1 TBS of the butter.
- Remove the foie gras from the pan and set on top of the bread slices.
- Drain the grease from the pan.
- Heat the same skillet again and add the remaining butter.
- Stir in the jam and heat until dissolved.
- Drizzle the jam mixture over the foie gras and bread slices.
- Serve and enjoy!

Tips:
- To ensure the foie gras is cooked evenly, use a heavy-bottomed skillet and cook over medium heat.
- Sear the foie gras for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and caramelized.
- Let the foie gras rest for a few minutes before serving, this will allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the foie gras with a dollop of lingonberry jam and a slice of toasted brioche.
- If you don't have lingonberry jam, you can use another type of berry jam, such as raspberry or blueberry.
Conclusion:
Seared foie gras is a delicious and luxurious appetizer or main course. It is a perfect dish for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. The combination of the rich, buttery flavor of the foie gras, the sweet and tartness of the lingonberry jam, and the crispy brioche toast is simply divine. If you have never tried foie gras before, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
