In this heat, four chefs face a nail-biting elimination round. In front of the watching Monica and Gregg, they have to earn the right to cook for the legendary Michel by demonstrating their culinary expertise with a skills test of spatchcocking a poussin and a palate test of making lemon curd. The remaining three chefs then face the first of the two gruelling tests that Michel and Gregg will judge them on . They must make two dishes in 50 minutes from the central ingredients of fillet of bream. The second test, recreating two classic dishes, will be concluded in the next show. Only one of them can make it through to the quarter-final, moving a step closer to winning the title of Professional MasterChef.
