Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cretons (pork spread)
  • 8 slices rustic bread
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. 1Remove the cretons from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving so it spreads easily.
  2. 2Toast the rustic bread until crisp at the edges but still tender in the centre.
  3. 3Stir the cretons briefly to loosen the chilled pork spread.
  4. 4Spread each hot toast slice with a generous layer of cretons.
  5. 5Add a small swipe of Dijon mustard and several dill pickle slices.
  6. 6Finish with black pepper and serve immediately.

💡 Warm toast against cool cretons gives the best texture; heating the cretons aggressively can make the pork spread greasy.
