Clean the duck or goose liver by removing any visible veins and membranes. Cut the liver into chunks.

Prepare the Liver

In a bowl, combine the liver chunks with cognac, port wine, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, preferably overnight.

Marinate the Liver

After marinating, transfer the liver mixture to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Blend the Mixture

Lay out a piece of Saran wrap or cheesecloth on a flat surface. Spoon the liver mixture onto the wrap, shaping it into a log. Roll it tightly, twisting the ends to secure.

Form the Torchon

Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Carefully place the wrapped foie gras torchon into the water and poach for about 30 minutes.

Poach the Torchon

Remove the torchon from the water and let it cool. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 6 hours or until firm.

Cool and Refrigerate

Unwrap the torchon and slice it into rounds. Serve chilled with accompaniments such as toasted bread, fruit compote, or pickles.

In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Make the Dough

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Knead the Dough

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough is rising.

Preheat the Oven

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or a baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Add your desired toppings.

Prepare the Pizza

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Melt butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for about 30-40 minutes until they are caramelized and golden brown.

Prepare the Onions

Add the dry white wine to the pot to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer for about 5 minutes.

Deglaze the Pot

Stir in the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.

Add Broth and Seasoning

While the soup is simmering, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the sliced baguette on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden.

Prepare the Bread

Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, place a slice of toasted baguette on top of each, and sprinkle generously with grated Gruyère cheese.

Serve the Soup

Place the bowls under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Melt the Cheese

Carefully remove the bowls from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your classic French onion soup!
