Fried Eggs with Chicken Livers

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

8 ounces chicken livers
2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 eggs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Toss the chicken livers briefly in hot butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season with salt, pepper, and cinnamon. The livers must be brown outside but still pink and juicy inside and slightly undercooked.

    Step 2

    Break the eggs over the livers, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until set. You can leave the eggs whole or scramble them slightly until creamy.
