Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Crab meat (lump or claw, cooked)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 loaf Baguette (sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sharp cheddar cheese, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Gently fold the crab meat into the mixture, being careful not to break up the lumps too much.
Arrange the baguette slices on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the crab mixture onto each baguette slice, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
Top each slice with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the bread are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
