Foie gras custard with crispy shallot

Foie Gras Custard with Crispy Shallot is an elegant and velvety dish that embodies indulgence. The silky-smooth foie gras custard melts in the mouth, delivering a luxurious, buttery texture with deep umami notes. The contrast of crispy, golden shallots adds a delightful crunch and a subtle sweetness that enhances the richness of the foie gras.

This dish is often served as a refined appetizer, paired with toasted brioche or a drizzle of aged balsamic for a perfect balance of flavors. Best enjoyed with a glass of Sauternes or a well-aged white wine, it’s an exquisite choice for a fine dining experience at home
