Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 slices of foie gras, 1-inch thick
- 1 cup of fresh figs, chopped
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 4 slices of brioche bread
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of mixed microgreens
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the chopped figs, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the figs break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Season the foie gras slices with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Sear the foie gras for 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from the skillet and let it rest on a paper towel.
- Toast the brioche slices in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown and crispy.
- To assemble, place a slice of toasted brioche on each plate. Top with a spoonful of the fig compote, followed by a seared foie gras slice. Garnish with a handful of mixed microgreens.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent appetizer!
Foie Gras with Fig Compote on Toasted Brioche, topped with delicate microgreens, is a luxurious dish that has a rich history dating back to ancient Egypt.

Today, this dish is celebrated in fine dining establishments worldwide, with notable renditions found in Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris, New York, and Tokyo. The key to this dish lies in the quality of the foie gras, the sweetness of the fig compote, and the freshness of the microgreens.
