Preparation – Panettone French toast & pan-seared truffled foie gras
In a bowl, whisk the cream, eggs, sugar, salt and rum.
Cut the panettone into slices about 2 cm thick.
Heat a large pan with 15 g butter.
Dip each slice in the cream–egg mixture to lightly soak it, then brown each side for 1 to 2 minutes until golden. Keep warm.
Open the Plantin truffled foie gras carefully.
Heat a small non-stick pan without adding fat, then add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Cut 2 cm-thick medallions and sear them for 30–40 seconds on each side to keep a soft centre.
Place one medallion on each slice of panettone.
Place a warm slice of panettone French toast, then a medallion of truffled foie gras on top.
Finish with a pinch of pink salt and freshly ground pepper.
Add a few black truffle shavings if desired to intensify the aroma.
Chef Plantin’s tip(s)
Take the truffled foie gras out 10 minutes before cooking so it reaches room temperature.
----
Do not exceed 1 minute total cooking per medallion to preserve tenderness and truffle aroma.
----
Serve the panettone French toast warm, just golden, with red fruits or a light coulis: the warm–cold contrast elevates the truffled foie gras.
