So here's the low down. I was put in charge of making a valentines day menu for my kitchen. Fuck doing holiday entre specials for party reservations, kitchen isn't big enough to handle that and normal dinner service. So I suggested doing a tapas menu.
Back to what I originally want to get at, sorry for the back story was actually pointlessly said. I want to do a sliced duck breast on a brown sugar/graham esque cracker topped with a drop of coffee insused demi. Only thing I can't completely figure how to do is the cracker. I want it taste like how the shell of a cheese cake would taste, maybe not as sweet. All I can think of how to do it is
>make cheese cake shell mixture
> portion and shape out individual crackers.
>then bake
Never made crackers before, and no idea if what I think will work. Please fellow chefs, help a starving chef in need.

Cheese cake is pretty easy if you have a good mixer, you just mix it up bake and refrigerate it. In your case I would do them on a sheet tray with a pastry bag.
If you don't want it to be so sweet then just don't add as much sugar...it shouldn't affect the consistency at all. Just pipe that shit out.
Your problem is that it's going to melt under a demi. You'd have to freeze those bitches or plate them off to the side away from the hot duck and hot demi or it'll just be a cream cheese soup by the time it hits the table.
How many covers are you doing?

Cheesecake recipe thread it is then.

in what world do you live in where that sounds like it'd be considered a "good dish"?
walk me through your thought process, anon.. i'm not being a dick; i'm trying to talk you down off that ledge you're currently on.

OP, do a seed/nut based cracker

Parmesan crackers are your answer.
if you need grain based crackers, salt and pepper crackers are dead easy
that thing you posted looks like ass on a plate. bleh

Duck and parmesan cheese sounds profane, but then again I've never had it.

cheddar cheese and kimchi is a really good combo.. i know that your initial reaction is to be repulsed, but it's delicious. duck/parm could be ok if done right, i think.
i would do a tartlet or tartin if OP is dead set on using coffee whatever. you could do a savory cheesecake with duck as long as you have a crunchy component and a starchy component but coffee/cheesecake with duck sounds really not good.

Alright OP, Here you go. The duck/parm thing got me thinking, and I know duck/blue cheese goes great together. So I found a roquefort/poppyseed cracker recipe from bon appetite.
give this a go.

Judging from what i see in the op's pic this resturant is going to go down in flames. Dont worry about the holiday op, worry about how you are going to pay your bills next month

yeah man..
that's what my dinners look like at home when i make a protein/vegetable/starch combo and hit it with some sauce..
OP, what kind of duck are you getting? is it good? how do you plan on cooking the breasts? are you good at cooking duck breast?
IMO you could do a duck leg confit with the cheesecake, some kind of gastrique, and some fennel chips with like micro arugula. as someone else suggested, do a bleu cheese based cheese cake base.
i have like half a boner thinking about eating that rn
