Step 1
Slice baguette diagonally into 0.5-inch-thick pieces. Brush lightly with oil on both sides, arrange on a sheet pan, and toast at 400°F until golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Pat chicken livers dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high until foaming. Add livers in a single layer and sear without moving for 2 minutes until golden on bottom.
Step 4
Flip livers, add sage and minced shallot, and cook 90 seconds more until centers feel barely firm when pressed.
Step 5
Pour in Marsala, scraping up browned bits, and simmer 1 minute until liquid reduces slightly.
Step 6
Remove from heat. Mash livers coarsely with a fork, then stir in remaining 1 tbsp butter until creamy. Spread on warm toasted bread and serve immediately.
