Step 1

Place eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to the boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium immediately and gently boil, stirring the water occasionally, for 7 minutes. Remove eggs from saucepan with a slotted spoon and cool. Peel and quarter.

Step 2

Meanwhile melt butter in a large frying pan and cook onions for 5 minutes or until tender. Add chicken livers and garlic and cook for 10 minutes or until livers are cooked through and firm. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

Step 3

Place chicken liver mixture into the bowl of a food processor. Add the herbs, eggs, port and pepper to taste and process until smooth. Spoon mixture into a 5-cup capacity serving dish, cover and place in fridge for 2 hours or until cold and firm. Store with the surface covered with plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 3 days. Serve with the toast rounds or fresh crusty bread.
