   meat should be pink and the juice that run out should be clear yellow.

   saute until golden brown. Drain butter from shallots and reserve. Add
   brandy and wine and reduce to half its volume. Add cream and Meat Glaze and
   reduce to half its volume gain. Strain sauce, and add the remaining 1 T.

   mushrooms, and divide into 2 portions. Place warm breasts on a serving
   dish. Top each with truffles and mushrooms. Pour sauce over breasts and
   cover with a glass cover. Recipe from the Greenbrier Hotel.
    CHEF’s NOTE: Breast of pheasant is served under glass to hold in the
   cognac flavor that makes this dish so
   
   unique.
