Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Baguette
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 8 ounces Lump crab meat
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 cups Microgreens (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices on a diagonal to create oval-shaped crostini.
Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and cool.
While the crostini are baking, mince the garlic and add it to a medium-sized bowl.
Add the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl.
Gently fold the ingredients together using a spoon, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Spoon a generous amount of the crab mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
Optional: Top each crostini with a sprinkle of microgreens for added color and texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
