• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)
• 1 packet Crackers or toast points (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the Braunschweiger and cream cheese from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to soften.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened Braunschweiger, cream cheese, and unsalted butter.

Step 3

Using a rubber spatula or hand mixer on low speed, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Stir in the minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You may add a little more Worcestershire sauce or pepper to suit your preference.

Step 6

Transfer the pate mixture to a serving dish or mold it into a decorative shape using plastic wrap. Smooth the surface with a spatula for a polished look.

Step 7

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pate to firm up.

Step 8

Before serving, optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.

Step 9

Serve the pate with crackers or toast points for spreading. Enjoy!
