Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces crab meat
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small, finely chopped celery stalk
- 2 finely sliced scallions
- 0.5 teaspoon old bay seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to toast the bread.
In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, and sliced scallions. Mix well.
Season the mixture with Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well combined, then set aside.
Spread butter evenly on each slice of sourdough bread, covering one side thoroughly.
Place the buttered bread slices on a baking sheet, buttered side up, and toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Once toasted, remove the bread from the oven. Let it cool for a minute or two.
Top each toasted bread slice with an even amount of the crab mixture.
Sprinkle chopped parsley and lemon zest over the top of the crab mixture for garnish.
Serve the crab toasts immediately, as a delicious appetizer or light lunch.
