Yield Makes about 36 hors d’oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup Sauternes or other white dessert wine
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (from a 1/4-ounce envelope)
2 tablespoons water
1 (1-inch-thick) slice of foie gras terrine (6 ounces; not páté or mousse) or a 6 1/2-ounces block
6 (1/2-inch-thick) slices firm white bread (pullman loaf or firm sandwich bread)
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Equipment: a small offset spatula

Steps:

  • Lightly oil a shallow 8-inch square baking dish or pan and line bottom and sides with a sheet of plastic wrap.
  • Bring Sauternes and sugar to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
  • Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over water in a small bowl and let soften 1 minute. Pour hot wine over gelatin mixture, then stir until gelatin has dissolved. Cool to room temperature.
  • Pour wine-gelatin mixture into lined dish and chill, covered, until set, at least 4 hours.
  • Lift gelée out of dish using plastic wrap and transfer to a cutting board. Cut gelée into 3/4-inch squares (without cutting through plastic).
  • Cut foie gras into 1-inch squares (about 1/4 inch thick). Transfer squares with offset spatula to a tray lined with plastic wrap, then top each with a square of gelée (you will have extra gelée). Chill, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to serve.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in upper third.
  • Trim crusts from bread, then brush with butter and cut 6 (1 1/4-inch) squares from each slice. Arrange in a 4-sided sheet pan and bake until golden, about 6 minutes.
  • Top toasts with foie-gras-and-gelée stacks.

I found this dish to be a bit too sweet. I think I would have preferred a more savory gelee.

The foie gras was a bit too rich for my taste, but the gelee was delicious.

I've never had foie gras before, but this dish was a great introduction. The foie gras was cooked perfectly and the gelee was a delicious accompaniment.

This dish was absolutely divine! The foie gras was rich and flavorful, and the Sauternes gelee added a touch of sweetness and acidity that perfectly complemented the foie gras.
