2 tbsp (30 mL) canola oil

1 Ontario rabbit, loins removed

½ tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper

12 -1-inch thick slices of sourdough baguette

½ cup (125 mL) grainy Dijon mustard

½ cup (125 mL) Brie cheese, sliced

1 Bartlett pear, sliced

2 strips cooked thick-cut bacon, crumbled

Steps :

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Season the rabbit loins with salt and pepper. When the oil is hot, sear the rabbit loins on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer skillet (if oven safe), or a baking dish, with rabbit loins into the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes for medium, or until desired doneness. Let loins rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing.

Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Spread each piece with mustard and a slice of Brie and bake for 5 minutes, or until Brie is melted. Top each tartine with pear, sliced rabbit loin, bacon and sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
