Ingredients
Instructions

- Add the egg, salt, and pepper to taste, then mix well.
- Form the mixture into patties.
- Fry the patties until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the liver is fresh and well-trimmed before grinding. If you don't have dry bread, you can use breadcrumbs or even oatmeal as a substitute. Adding herbs like parsley or thyme can enhance the flavor. For a bit of sweetness, consider mixing in finely chopped apples or a splash of Apricot Dressing.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these liver patties alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. A dollop of tangy sauce, such as a yogurt-based dressing, can complement their richness. They also pair beautifully with Cafe Au Lait(France) for a hearty breakfast or brunch option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or heat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
