    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly wash the chicken livers, then cut them into smaller pieces. Finely chop the onion and garlic.

    2

    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.

    3

    Add the chicken livers and cook until the outside is browned but the inside is still slightly pink (about 4-5 minutes).

    4

    Transfer the liver mixture to a food processor. Add the heavy cream, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth.

    5

    Stir in the chopped parsley and breadcrumbs. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish.

    6

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the baking dish in a roasting pan and fill the pan with hot water so that the water reaches halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake the liver pâté in a water bath for 35-40 minutes.

    7

    Once cooked, let it cool for 10-15 minutes, then carefully remove it from the dish. Slice and serve with toasted bread or a fresh salad.
