Toast the bread slices. Distribute first the corn salad and then the rillettes over 4 slices of bread, put 4 slices on top of those and spread the chutney on these. Put the pear slices on the chutney and cover with the remaining bread slices. Cut the bread diagonally.
Rillettes is a dish prepared from meat (often pork), in its own fat and then shredded. If you cannot find rillettes in your local shops, you can also use paté.
