Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Toast bread slices 90 seconds per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add remaining 2 tbsp butter and sage to the same skillet. Add chicken livers, season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Cook livers 3–4 minutes over medium heat, turning gently. Centers should still feel slightly soft when pressed.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer livers to a bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy, then spread onto each warm toast slice.

  6. Step 6

    Top each crostini with a pickled cucumber slice and a small dollop of chutney. Serve immediately.
