No. 128 Minuta Alla Visconti (Chickens’ Livers)
Ingredients: Fowls’ livers, eggs, cheese, butter, cream, cayenne pepper.
Braize two fowls’ livers in butter, then pound them up, and mix with a little cream, a tablespoonful of grated cheese and a dust of cayenne.
Spread this rather thickly over small squares of toast, and keep them hot whilst you make a custard with half an ounce of butter, an egg well beaten up, and a tablespoonful of cheese. Stir it over the fire till thick and then spread it on the hot toast. Serve very hot. This makes a good savoury.
