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