Clean the chicken livers by removing any sinews or fat. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
Dice the onion and garlic finely. Heat the butter in a pan and sauté the onion until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the chicken livers to the pan and cook until they are just browned on the outside but still pink inside. Deglaze with cognac and let the alcohol evaporate.
Transfer the liver mixture to a blender. Add the eggs, heavy cream, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and parsley. Blend until smooth.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a baking dish or ramekins with butter and pour in the liver mixture.
Place the dish or ramekins in a larger baking tray filled with hot water to create a bain-marie. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the mixture is set and golden on top.
Let the gâteau cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with toasted bread or a light green salad.
