Pulled Pork Crostini with Coleslaw
These Pulled Pork Crostinis are the appetizer you’re looking for, with savory, smoky flavors and a refreshing crunch. This delicious dish takes tender, slow-cooked pulled pork and pairs it with a tangy coleslaw, all served atop crispy crostini.
These are easy to put together, even easier if you cheat a little and go with store-bought pork. I like to make them for parties, game day gatherings, or any time our friends get together, because they’re always everyone’s favorite.
What You’ll Need
- 1 French baguette, sliced
- 2 cups pulled pork (cooked and seasoned)
- 1 cup coleslaw (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce (for drizzling)
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish
Helpful Tips
- Perfectly Toasted Crostini: To achieve the ideal crunch, brush each slice of bread with olive oil and toast them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. This not only enhances the flavor but also provides a sturdy base for the pulled pork and coleslaw.
- Flavorful Pulled Pork: For the best results, use well-seasoned pulled pork. You can prepare it in advance using a slow cooker or an Instant Pot, allowing the flavors to develop fully. Don’t forget to mix in some barbecue sauce for added moisture and flavor before assembling your crostini.
- Customize Your Coleslaw: While traditional coleslaw works wonderfully, feel free to get creative with your slaw! You can add ingredients like diced apples, raisins, or even jalapeños for a sweet or spicy twist. The coleslaw adds a refreshing crunch that perfectly complements the richness of the pulled pork.
With their delicious combination of flavors and textures, Pulled Pork Crostini with Coleslaw are a must-try appetizer that will elevate any gathering. Easy to prepare and packed with taste, these bites are sure to be a hit with your guests. Get ready to enjoy a delightful culinary experience that’s perfect for sharing.
