3. Transfer the mushrooms and onions to a blender bowl. Wait for a while until the ingredients cool slightly. While the ingredients are cooling, fry the nuts in a frying pan, then crush them and also put them in the blender.

4. Boil the eggs, chop them and add them to the other ingredients. Add butter and cognac. Add an alcoholic drink if desired. Then beat the ingredients until smooth.

5. The finished pate is transferred to a jar and placed in the refrigerator. After 30-40 minutes, it can be tasted.

The pate is very tender, and the nuts and cognac give the spread a special twist. It is ideal for breakfast or a light snack with tea or coffee.
