INGREDIENTS

  •  2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) milk
  •  1 tsp (5 ml) sweet clover extract
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml) dune pepper, ground
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 slices brioche bread, 4 cm (1.5 in.) thick
  • 1 tub (225-250 g) spreadable goat cheese
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 pears, cored and sliced (approximately 12 slices per pear)
  • 2 endives, without hearts, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • Maple syrup, as desired
  • Fleur de sel and freshly ground pepper, as desired

PREPARATION

Capicollo

1. Preheat the oven to 200° C (400° F).

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out the 12 capicollo slices so they are not touching each other. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Set aside.

Leave the oven at the same temperature for the French toast.

Brioche French toast

1. In a shallow bowl, use a whisk to beat together the eggs, sweet clover extract, dune pepper and salt. Dip each slice in the mixture and coat well (without soaking and so the bread’s centre stays slightly firm). Set aside on a plate.

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the four slices of French toast. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until golden, turning over halfway through.

Assembly

On each of the four plates, place one slice of brioche French toast and top in equal parts in the following order with goat cheese spread, dill, pears, capicollo chips, endives and chives. Add the desired quantity of maple syrup. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
