Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Crab meat (fresh or canned)
- 100 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 loaf Baguette (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, hot sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on a baking tray.
Brush the top of each slice with melted butter to lightly coat.
Spoon a small amount of the crab mixture onto each baguette slice, spreading it evenly.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the crab mixture is warm and the edges of the baguette slices are golden and crisp.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the crab snacks cool slightly. Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack and enjoy!
