Treat your ingredients with care...

• Pate — Make sure the pate is at room temperature before spreading it on the bread to ensure easy spreading.
• Pickles — Use dill pickles for a classic Midwestern flavor. If you prefer a milder taste, opt for bread and butter pickles instead.
• Bread — Choose a crusty bread with a sturdy texture to hold up to the pate and toppings.
