Description

This classic Frosted Liver Pat transforms simple Braunschweiger into an elegant, crowd-pleasing appetizer. The smooth, savory liver base is enriched with fresh onion, garlic, and basil for a robust flavor profile. It is then crowned with a light, zesty cream cheese frosting that adds a creamy contrast and visual appeal. Perfectly chilled, this spread offers a luxurious texture that pairs beautifully with dark rye crackers or crisp baguette slices. It is an ideal centerpiece for holiday parties, wine tastings, or as a sophisticated starter for dinner guests. Simple to assemble and impressive in presentation, this recipe brings a touch of traditional comfort to your table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place the Braunschweiger in a medium bowl and mash it thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
  2. Stir in the mayonnaise, finely chopped onion, one crushed garlic clove, and basil leaves until well combined.
  3. Shape the liver mixture into a mound or loaf shape on a serving plate or in a small serving dish.
  4. Cover the shaped liver mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
  5. In a separate small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, the second crushed garlic clove, hot pepper sauce, and remaining mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
  6. Once the liver base is chilled, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top to create a "frosting" layer.
  7. Return the frosted pat to the refrigerator until ready to serve to allow the frosting to set slightly.
  8. Just before serving, garnish the top with diced pimiento and chopped parsley for color and freshness.
