Can I use raw Leberkäse instead of pre-cooked?
Raw Leberkäse needs to be baked at 160°C for about 60–90 minutes until the internal temp hits 70°C. Pre-cooked slices are the shortcut for this recipe.

FAQ · Things people ask
About this recipe.
What if I can't find sweet mustard?
Mix equal parts Dijon mustard and honey, or use a mild yellow mustard with a pinch of sugar. Bavarian sweet mustard (Händlmaier's is the classic) has a grainy, mildly spiced profile.
Can I bake the Leberkäse instead of pan-frying?
Yes—brush slices with oil and bake at 200°C for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway. You'll lose some of the crust crunch, but it's a hands-off option.
