  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional, for stuffing)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan.

  • Pour half of the liver mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.

  • Layer sautéed mushrooms or spinach (and cheese if using) over the mixture.

  • Rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Soaking livers in milk for 30 minutes before blending can mellow the flavor.Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness.The mixture should be smooth, thick, and pourable.Caramelized onions can add subtle sweetness.Allow proper resting time for clean slices.
