Mini Foie Gras Puffs Recipe
Total time: 15 to 30 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Resting time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
To flavor and color the choux pastry, you can add some fig jam or small pieces of fig.
To make it easier to serve these puffs at a party, prepare them with the fig jam in advance. Place a kitchen towel over them to keep them from drying out. Fill at the last minute.
Ingredients
For 4 servings / 20 puffs
- 100 ml (6 Tbsp.) cold milk
- 3 eggs
- 50 g (3 Tbsp.) softened butter
- 100 g (3 1/2 oz.) quick tapioca
- 125 g (4 oz.) partly cooked foie gras
- 100 g (6 Tbsp.) thick crème fraîche or whipping cream
- 5 Tbsp. fig jam
- salt and pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F).
- Prepare the choux pastry: pour the milk into a bowl, add the eggs, salt and butter. Whisk in the tapioca. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- Form the batter into small mounds on an oiled baking sheet, then bake for approximately 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, blend the foie gras with the cream; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the filling to a piping bag and set aside in the refrigerator.
- Once the puffs are cooked, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly, then slice them horizontally about two-thirds of the way up.
- Place a little fig jam into the bottoms of the puffs, to taste, then fill with the foie gras cream; replace the tops.
- Serve immediately.
