Crispy Pork Trotter Toast with Crottin de Chavignol Cheese Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of sourdough bread
• 2 pork trotters, skin removed
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 4 slices Crottin de Chavignol cheese

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the pork trotters in a pot with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and then let them simmer for 2 hours until tender. Remove from the pot and let cool. Discard the bones and shred the meat.
3. In a pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until they have softened.
4. Add the tomato paste, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and salt. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Add the shredded pork trotters and chicken broth to the pan. Let it simmer until the liquid has reduced and the mixture is thick enough to spread on toast.
6. Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.
7. Spread the pork trotter mixture evenly onto each toast slice and top each one with a slice of Crottin de Chavignol cheese.
8. Place the toasts in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese has melted and is golden brown and bubbly on top.
9. Serve hot and enjoy!
