1
Special equipment: 2 1/2 gallon resealable plastic bag

8
Remove from the oven and let rest with foil to cover until ready to carve.
9
Melt the butter and when it foams, add the sage leaves and crisp them up as the butter browns.
10
Remove the leaves and crumble.
11
Toast the sliced bread in the toaster.
12
Brush the toast with browned butter and top with sage.
13
Cut the toast corner to corner.

Whisk in the stock, soy sauce, maple syrup and Worcestershire sauce.
