Croutons & Croutes
Homemade croutons and croutes from French or Italian bread, tossed in extra-virgin olive oil and baked until golden and crisp. Two essential bread toppers, one simple method.
Lemon French Toast
Lemon French toast made with thick-cut day-old French bread soaked in a lemon zest and lemon extract batter. The flour in the batter creates an extra-crispy, golden crust that regular French toast can't match.
Poulet a L'Intrigue (Chicken)
Poulet a l'Intrigue: a Louisiana-style stuffed chicken breast marinated, packed with a sausage-eggplant dressing under the skin, lightly hickory-smoked, and finished with an andouille-pecan cream sauce.
Creole Onion Soup
Roux-thickened Creole onion soup loaded with golden onions, three cheeses, cayenne, and herbs, topped with seasoned bread cubes. French onion goes full Louisiana.

Lemon pepper sandwich loaf, an accordion-sliced French bread stuffed with swiss, bacon, and a tangy lemon-pepper poppy seed butter, baked warm in foil. A pull-apart crowd-pleaser for parties and game day.
