Pork Belly, Apple and Maple Glaze Crostini

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pork belly: You can either braise your own pork belly or you can buy it already prepared if you have a Trader Joe's close to you. If you don't want to do either use a pork steak, cut into small pieces, toss with some self rising flour and fry until crisp. This will be just as delicious. Fry the pork belly (pork steak, bacon or whatever you decide to use) and set aside.
  2. Make the glaze by mixing the 4 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and the maple syrup and heat on medium until it starts to thicken. This will take 4-5 minutes. Set aside to drizzle on assembled appetizer.
  3. Cut the French baguette into thin slices. Drizzle slices with a little olive oil and bake in 350° oven until lightly browned.
  4. Beat the goat cheese and cream cheese with the chopped rosemary. If you want more of a goat cheese flavor, omit the cream cheese.
  5. Apples: These can be done early in the day if you want to be a little ahead on this recipe. Put the sliced apples, not overlapping, in a hot skillet with about 1 tablespoon each olive oil and butter. Brown the apples quickly on both sides on medium-high heat. You still want a little crunch to the apple so do not overcook; just get a little color on them before removing from skillet and setting aside.
  6. To assemble take the toasted baguette and spread with a little of the goat cheese mixture. Arrange two of the baby arugula leaves one facing off to one side and the other the the opposite side. Top with apple slice then pork belly and then drizzle with a little of the maple glaze.
  7. Arrange on a platter and serve. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Order Diazepam India The amount of pork belly will depend on how many of these little bites you want to do.  That 5-6 oz. package of pork belly from Trader Joes probably made about 40 appetizers. So, if you are using pork steaks 2-3 nice size steaks will be more than enough.
