Do delicious « skinny cretons » sound like an impossible dream to you? Dream no more because you found it! And not only is it a cinch to make, it doesn’t require a long list of ingredients. In fact, other than the milk, you probably have everything on hand already. 

Cretons remind me of my childhood and of Christmas morning at my grandmother’s. A few bites of this delicious spread however will ruin your diet, since most cretons found in grocery stores or at your local baker’s are full of fat, which make them easily spreadable, and salt because who doesn’t like a salty treat?

I saw a recipe on my favorite website RicardoCuisine and it inspired me to try it (adding my own personal spin on it of course ?)

Perfect to serve with a french baguette and dijon mustard at your next Brunch or just as a mid-afternoon snack with celery sticks.

YES! "Skinny" and "Cretons" are now two words that can go together deliciously well! Enjoy in your next Brunch on a toast with dijon mustard or as a mid-afternoon snack on celery sticks.
