What to serve your foie gras with?

Foie gras, with its creaminess and aromatic richness, calls for accompaniments that reveal and balance its flavors. At Maison Fayard, we've selected toasts and confits specially designed to enhance each bite. Discover our suggestions below and understand why these pairings work so wonderfully.

Toasts: the crunchy and neutral base
The toasts provide a contrasting texture that highlights the softness of the foie gras. Their mini size allows for elegant bites without overwhelming the palate.

• Mini Fig Toasts
  The light crispness of the fig-enriched bread adds a fruity sweetness that delicately contrasts with the richness of the foie gras. This sweet and savory note awakens the taste buds and refines the tasting experience.

• Mini Brioche Toasts
  Their tender, slightly buttery crumb echoes the creaminess of the foie gras without ever dominating it. They provide a neutral, soft base to reveal all the aromatic finesse of the product.

• Mini-Plain Toasts
  Ultra-crispy and sugar-free, these neutral toasts provide the perfect backdrop for foie gras. They then allow for a hint of confit to be added without interfering with the flavors of the fat.

Confit: the sweet and salty touch
The confits play on the register of sweet and salty and controlled acidity , creating a dynamic contrast with the fatty substance of the foie gras. They structure the tasting by bringing tension and relief.

• Onion Confit
  The softness of the sweet onions, simmered with a hint of vinegar, adds a tangy note that contrasts with the roundness of the foie gras. A small spoonful is enough to balance each bite.

• Fig & Balsamic Vinegar Confit
  Ripe figs and balsamic vinegar create a fruity, slightly tangy combination that's perfect for bringing out the natural aromas of foie gras. Balsamic vinegar lends a longer aftertaste.

• Fig Confit with Walnuts
  The combination of stewed fig and crunchy walnut pieces creates a variety of textures : the crunch of the walnut, the sweetness of the fruit and the silky texture of the foie gras, for a complete harmony.

Why these associations work

1. Contrast of textures : the crispness of the toast and the softness of the confit balance the density of the foie gras.

2. Flavor games : the sweet and salty and light acidity of the confits awaken the aromas of the foie gras without masking them.

3. Visual balance : the golden color of the toasts and the deep hue of the candied fruits create a varied and appetizing platter.

4. Convenience : All these products are ready to use, for quick setup and seamless service.

Fayard House Advice

• Serve the foie gras at room temperature (30–50 min out of the refrigerator).

• Present the toasts in a fan shape around a central plate of foie gras.

• Place the small pots of confit near the foie gras, with a dedicated spoon for each flavor.
