Best Cretons Breakfast Pork Spread Recipes
EMERIL LAGASSE'S CRETON
Creton is a french-canadian specialty; this type of "pork pate" is certainly not healthy, but really delicious! I like it spread on toast or crackers, along with hot mustard. Many in Quebec eat it at breakfast. Prep time includes chilling time.

MEMERE'S CRETON (FRENCH CANADIAN PORK PATéE)
This was my favorite breakfast spread when I visited my grandparents as a child. I loved when my Memere made it because the entire house smelled so good. It is a French Canadian recipe. If you are French and from Canada, you must have tried this at one time.
