Here are some ideas on how to use up your leftover pâté:
• Bistro burger: Spread a burger bun with a layer of chicken liver mousse for a luxurious topping.
• Banh mi: Use extra chicken liver mousse as the pâté layer in a homemade banh mi sandwich, or spread it on the crust of a classic store-bought banh mi.
• Bagels: Spread any leftover smoked trout pâté on toasted bagels (with or without cream cheese).
• Grilled cheese: All the same ingredients as in the board, now in melty handheld form: Add a layer of pâté (and a slick of mustard) before assembling and griddling.
