    2- In an electric mixer, with the blade accessory, put meat cubes and crush them, but not too thinly.
    3- Put the meat in a salad bowl, pour the cognac, add the thyme leaves, the nutmeg, salt (not too much because of the bacon) & pepper ; mix everything and leave for 15 minutes.

    * Add the 2 eggs to the meat and mix to obtain an homogeneous mixture ; put it into a paté terrine, smooth the surface and display the bayleaves on. Cover with the terrine lid.
    * Put the terrine on the oven baking tray in which you must always keep some water during the baking time (this is called "bain marie").
