I believe the answer is:

entree

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'a french' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'course' is the second definition.
(course of a meal)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entree that I've seen before include "Privilege of admission, or food dish" , "The right to be admitted" , "Dish providing right of entry" , "Main course dish" , "Means of access - course" .)
