Tournedos Rossini with Foie Gras: I'd leave out the eggs, or have eggs on
the side. Or, use the yolks for sauce Bernaise. Have that on the side with
the Madeira sauce with the steak. From Wikipedia: "Tournedos Rossini is a
French steak dish, purportedly created for the composer Gioachino Rossini by
Auguste Escoffier, although the identity of the creator of the dish remains
a matter of dispute. The dish comprises a tournedos (filet mignon) of beef,
pan-fried in butter, served on a crouton, and topped with a slice of whole
foie gras. The dish is garnished with slices of black truffle, and finished
with a Madeira demi-glace sauce.

I've attempted this, though not for years. We brought goose liver back from
France, squandered on truffles here, and made our own demi-glace.
