For those looking to impress with minimal prep, this smoked duck crostini recipe is both elegant and easy to make. Featuring Sugartown Smoked Foods’ perfectly sliced smoked duck breast, this appetizer layers warm, smoky flavors with a sweet cherry spread and fresh berries for an elevated bite.
Ingredients:
• Sugartown Smoked Foods Smoked Duck Breast – thinly sliced
• Sour Cherry Spread – (or your favorite brand)
• Fresh Berries – raspberries and blackberries, halved on each
• Fresh Chives – finely chopped for garnish
• Baguette – sliced into thin rounds for crostini
• Butter – for grilling bread
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Bread
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a touch of butter. Grill each slice of baguette for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.
2. Warm the Duck Breast
In a preheated pan, place slices of Sugartown’s smoked duck breast for 30 seconds to 1 minute, just enough to warm and slightly crisp the edges, similar to bacon.
3. Assemble the Crostini
Spread a layer of cherry spread on each grilled baguette slice. Then, place a slice of warmed duck breast on top.
4. Garnish
Add a halved raspberry or blackberry atop the duck breast for a burst of freshness and color. Finish with a sprinkle of finely chopped chives.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
Arrange the crostini on a serving platter, and watch as guests enjoy this perfect blend of smoky, sweet, and fresh flavors.
